Maverick forward Jake Pivonka’s short-handed goal in the Feb. 18 game at Miami is featured in the NCHC Top 5 Plays of the Week – Feb. 21, 2023. 

The goal — scored at 16:45 in the second period — was keyed with a defensive zone interception by sophomore forward Cam Berg. 

Berg skated the puck up the ice and made a circle-to-circle pass that set up Pivonka’s goal. 

At the time, UNO was killing off the remainder of a minor penalty being served by senior forward Nolan Sullivan.

The goal sparked the scoring for the Mavs (who were down 2-0 at that point in the game). Omaha scored three unanswered goals in the contest to secure a 3-2 OT win. 

Pivonka has 8 goals and 7 assists on the season.
