Denver has won the national championship, its record 10th, and 5th in the last 20 years

Goaltender Matt Davis, who had allowed four goals in his previous four starts for Denver, made 34 saves to earn the blank slate.

Denver's goalie just made one of the great saves you will ever see in the NCAA hockey championship game.

Got a feeling <a href="">#NHL</a> teams have <a href="">#Denver</a> goalie Matt Davis on the radar now! <a href="">#MFrozenFour</a>.

Boston College earned several high-danger chances early in the game, but it was Denver first on the board.

Sophomore forward Jared Wright opened scoring halfway through the second period with a shot that ricocheted off the post and in.

Denver then controlled play until sophomore forward Rieger Lorenz, who assisted on the first goal, provided an insurance tally five and a half minutes later.

Lorenz scored on a highlight-reel pass from freshman Zeev Buium.

What a setup by Zeev Buium. 2-0 Denver.

If there are 10 players in the 2024 NHL draft who are better than Zeev Buium ... man, I'd say it's a pretty strong class then.

Todd Milewski @ToddMilewski

Denver had 14 straight shot attempts over 5-plus minutes bookended by the Jared Wright and Rieger Lorenz goals.

Boston College forward Ryan Leonard, who was drafted by the Washington Capitals with the No. 8 pick of the 2023 draft, led Boston College with eight shots in the loss.

Saturday night's NCAA title game featured a bevy of players who could be joining the NHL in the future. Boston College's roster features 14 NHL draft picks, while 12 took the ice for Denver.

It's possible Smith, a free agent, could have earned himself his own look from NHL scouts with his championship shutout.
