By Kris Baker - SabresProspects.com
Hudson Fasching added a spectacular goal to his resume Saturday as the Minnesota Golden Gophers throttled Ohio State 6-2 to sweep the Big Ten conference series.
At 7:01 of the opening frame, Fasching brought the fans out of their seats when he carried the puck from the corner behind the Buckeyes' net, quickly reversed while protecting it, and arced to the front for the forehand finish. The play showcased most of what Fasching does best with his size and reach beneath the goal line, crisp stops and starts, and instincts to get to the net front area.
