Bobby Cowan’s power-play goal with 6:55 remaining lifted No. 1 seed Edina past No. 2 seed Chanhassen 2-1 on Saturday in the state Class 2A championship game in front of an announced crowd of 20,346 at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul.

Cowan, a senior University of St. Thomas commit, unloaded a rising shot that sailed over the catching glove of star Chanhassen goaltender Kam Hendrickson. Chanhassen outshot Edina 33-23.

Edina (26-4-1), ranked No. 3 in Class 2A, controlled much of the third period, and tied the score at 1-1 with 13:48 remaining on junior defenseman Robby Hoch’s third goal of the season.

Tyler Smith’s deflection of Ben Curtis’ point shot put the No. 5-2A Storm (25-6-0) ahead 1-0 with 6:50 left in the second. The goal culminated a long stretch of play in the Edina defensive zone, with the Storm peppering Edina goaltender Joe Bertram with shots or missing just wide.

Chanhassen outshot Edina 15-5 in the second.

Just one penalty was called in a scoreless first period, a high-sticking minor on No. 1 seed Edina’s Ryan Flaherty with 2:39 remaining. No. 2 seed Chanhassen had several quality scoring chances on the ensuing power play but were unable to beat Bertram. 

Bertram and Hendrickson, one of three finalists for the Frank Brimsek Award that goes to the state’s top senior goaltender, had 10 and nine saves, respectively, in the first period.

A tripping call on Chanhassen’s Caden Lee put Edina on a power play with 7:06 remaining, and Bobby Cowan needed just 11 seconds of the man advantage to snipe a rising shot past the catching glove of Chanhassen goaltender Kam Hendrickson.
