ST. PETER, Minn. – Senior Tobias Gabrielsen scored the lone goal of the shootout to give the St. Olaf College men's hockey team the extra point after the Oles rallied from two goals down late to force a 3-3 tie against Gustavus Adolphus College on Friday evening in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) opener for both teams at Don Roberts Ice Rink.
 
Gustavus (1-1-1, 0-0-1 MIAC) led 3-1 late in the third period before St. Olaf (1-1-1, 0-0-1 MIAC) scored twice in the final 2:20, including a tying goal from Brandon Desrosiers with 17.2 seconds to go, to force overtime. After a scoreless pair of overtime sessions, Gabrielsen was the hero in the shootout, scoring on St. Olaf's third attempt to give the Oles the extra point.
 
The Gusties built a 2-0 lead after two periods, getting goals from the Evan Erickson-Caleb Anderson-Colton Schmidt line late in each of the first two periods. Erickson opened the scoring at 16:09 of the first before Schmidt doubled the hosts' lead at 17:40 of the second.
 
Desrosiers halved the Oles' deficit at 3:04 of the third, putting home a rebound in front off assists from Kyle Rimbach and Roshen Jaswal for his first of the season. Just three seconds after the goal, St. Olaf took a penalty, but five saves from Noah Parker helped keep it a one-goal game.
 
Gustavus reclaimed a two-goal advantage at 10:51 of the third when Anderson added a goal to his two earlier assists. After the Gusties killed off a five-on-three power play that lasted 1:44, the hosts took another penalty with 2:30 left that set up a six-on-four St. Olaf power play with Parker on the bench.
 
Just 10 seconds into the power play, Gabrielsen made it a 3-2 game with his first goal of the season off assists from Tuukka Totro and Chris Koziel. The power-play goal was St. Olaf's first in 14 chances with the man advantage this season.
 
With the Gusties still ahead by a goal inside the final minute, Jaswal rang a shot off the post from the left circle before Desrosiers notched his first-career two-goal game by scoring an extra-skater goal with 17.2 seconds remaining on a scrum in front of the net. Totro earned his second assist of the night on the tying goal.

In the five-on-five first overtime, Parker made a save in a one-on-one with Mason Etter with 1:30 to go and added a stop to deny Erickson with two seconds left to send the game to the MIAC's first-ever three-on-three overtime. Totro had the best chance of the second overtime, but Chris Amsden thwarted the junior's backhand on a three-on-one break a minute and a half in as the game went to a shootout.
 
The first two shooters for both teams were unable to convert before Gabrielsen got one through Amsden's legs on St. Olaf's third attempt. Parker denied Toby Sengvongxay on Gustavus' third try to seal the shootout win.
 
Parker had a career-high 44 saves for St. Olaf in the game, while Amsden had 27 stops for Gustavus. Parker had 14 saves in the third, three in the first overtime and six in the three-on-three second overtime.
 
The two teams complete their weekend series at Northfield Ice Arena on Saturday, Nov. 3 at 7:30 p.m.
