With 2:52 left in regulation, Court tied the game on a one-time blast that Drobac never saw. It was his first goal of the season and came in a huge moment for the Sun Devils.

Just 1:08 into overtime, Deputy fired home a wrister past Hasley to win it for Miami. It was his seventh goal of the season.

Miami went 0-for-4 on the power play but finished a perfect 5-for-5 on the penalty kill. Arizona State outshot the RedHawks 38-23 and dominated the faceoff circle, winning 63.6% of draws. Logan Morrell went 16-for-20 (80%) while Miami’s Ilia Morozov finished 10-for-23 (43.5%).
