Wilcox has given the Gophers a chance to win every game not only with reliable, often clutch goaltending, but also with superb playmaking ability.

"He plays the puck more than anybody I've had," Lucia said. "You want to temper and control it, but you don't want to take away from that strength because it's also what makes him good."

Wilcox admits, "I like to move around. I get bored sitting there and like to dictate some of the play," although there have been some close calls with Wilcox's straying that have nearly given Lucia a coronary.

"Every couple plays, I'll look over and get the death glare," Wilcox said.
