per FSN:

It was a bit of a whirlwind this past weekend for Minnesota's Hudson Fasching and Ryan Collins.

Fasching, a sophomore forward, and Collins, a freshman defenseman, both represented the United States at this year's World Junior Championship. When the U.S. lost 3-2 to Russia on Friday in Montreal, it meant Fasching and Collins could return to join their Gophers teammates.

After a long day of travel and on very little sleep, both players were back in Minnesota's lineup Saturday night against RIT. Not only did they both play, but Fasching had the primary assist on Kyle Rau's overtime game winner.

"I got a good two-hour nap before the game. Otherwise I was pretty much just going on pure adrenaline," Fasching said this week. "It was a whirlwind of emotions. I slept like a rock Saturday night, I can tell you that much."
