Ohio State's first home series of the CCHA season did not yield the results they had intended, but they were able to get two points against No. 14 Alaska last weekend in Nationwide Arena.
Friday, Ohio State C Danny Dries tied the game at 3 apiece with just 9.8 seconds left in regulation, his second goal of the game, and won it in a shootout to give the Buckeyes a second point.
The Buckeyes started the game sluggishly after a week off, but were able to pick up their play in the final two periods of the game.
After falling behind 2-0 early in the 2nd period, Ohio State responded with two goals and Alaska added a third to maintain the one-goal lead before Dries' put the game-tying goal past Nanooks' G Scott Greenham.
But Saturday, Ohio State fell 5-2, giving up three goals in the final 5:30 of the game after having a 2-0 lead early in the 2nd period.
The Buckeyes went 0-6 on the power play Saturday and gave up 4 goals in the third period, which led to the loss to Dallas Ferguson's Alaska squad.
Ohio State hosts Michigan at home in another CCHA series Friday at 7:35 and Saturday at 7:05 at Value City Arena.
