Stillwater vs. Cretin-Derham Hall

7:15 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 5
Highland Arena, St. Paul

Stillwater, at No. 11, has its collective nose smashed against the glass as it peers at the state’s top 10 in Class 2A. Are the Ponies (6-1-0) worthy of joining the top-10 party? Stillwater has quality wins over Maple Grove, White Bear Lake and Mahtomedi. Another against the No. 6-2A Raiders (8-4-0) on Thursday would only enhance the Ponies’ resume.

Senior power forward Ty Tuccitto has seven goals and 10 points to lead Stillwater, which has won six straight. Senior goaltender Tomas Anderson has been rock solid in goal — he’s allowing 2 goals per game and has a .922 save percentage.

The Cretin-Derham Hall senior forward duo of Jake Fisher and Attila Lippai has combined for 21 goals and 41 points.
