Cincinnati held a commanding 27-6 lead late in the third quarter but faltered as Pittsburgh scored 22 unanswered points, culminating in a game-winning 35-yard field goal with 17 seconds left. Despite standout performances from Corey Kiner and Brendan Sorsby, Cincinnati's mental errors and second-half struggles cost them the game.

The University of Omaha's Mavericks clinched a narrow 4-3 victory over the Miami University RedHawks, with a decisive goal in the final minute by Zach Urdahl.

Boone Jenner netted two goals, and Zach Werenski set a franchise record with four assists, propelling the Columbus Blue Jackets to a 7-3 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday night.

The Blue Jackets’ next chance to convert scoring chances into goals is Monday in Dallas. They’ll depart after practice Sunday, hoping they find more puck luck in Texas.
