Jan. 22: Stars win potential playoff preview; Cathedral's John Hirschfeld has seven-point night; Rosemount rolls to victory at Valleyfair

Holy Angels 4, Wayzata 1

PLYMOUTH - Holy Angels took a big step toward earning a top-three seed in the Section 6AA playoffs with a 4-1 victory over Wayzata at Plymouth Ice Center in one of four games played statewide on Wednesday night.

Henry Lechner scored his state-leading 33rd goal of the season early in the second period to put No. 10-2A Holy Angels (15-2-1) ahead 3-0. 

Colin Bierman scored the lone goal for No. 12-2A Wayzata (11-7-2). 

Edina, Wayzata and Benilde-St. Margaret's have dominated the top of the section for most of the past decade, but the victory by the Stars could break up the top trio. 

Holy Angels plays Benilde-St. Margaret's on Tuesday, Jan. 28 at Richfield Ice Arena in another game with big seeding implications.
