RMU had a power playin the last 3 minutes which NU shut down. That could have affected the final outcome. After that NU scored #4., A big win for sure.

NU's bad habits in the past under Lammers resulted in allowing late goals PP and even strength goals which would result in a loss or forced OT. Yes, the team has improved securing wins on home ice especially late in games.

The AHA standings are a bit skewed since NU has played more league games (9) than most teams. Several teams have a two games on hand.
