Minnesota Duluth is one win away from its second men's hockey national championship since 2011. The Bulldogs advanced to Saturday's national title game with a clutch goal with less than 30 seconds to play to secure a 2-1 win over Harvard in the Frozen Four Thursday night.

The hero: Alex Iafallo with 26.6 seconds remaining.

"We kept the puck in at the blue line and that was pretty much the key to the goal," said Iafallo, via UMD athletics. "Willie made a good play -- we run that in practice all the time. We got the puck to the net and I was able to shovel it in."

Harvard was riding a 16-game winning streak and was unbeaten going all the way back to Jan. 20.

The Bulldogs will play Denver in the national championship game Saturday at 8 p.m.
