UND is juggling three of its forward lines. Most notably, it is breaking up the top line of Jackson Blake, Owen McLaughlin and Riese Gaber after a turnover-plagued series opener. McLaughlin is flipping spots with Cameron Berg. Ben Strinden also is moving from wing to center on the fourth line and Dane Montgomery is moving into a regular shift. . . No changes for Colorado College. . . The Tigers are looking for their first sweep in Grand Forks since 1993. . . UND and Colorado College will finish the first half with the same goaltender starting every game — Ludvig Persson and Kaidan Mbereko.
