BUFFALO, N.Y. — Coach Scott Sandelin isn’t taking Minnesota Duluth’s third consecutive trip to the Frozen Four championship game for granted because of how difficult it is to get there. The National Collegiate Hockey Conference champion Bulldogs also became the first team to reach three consecutive championship games since Boston College from 2006-08. Minnesota Duluth lost 3-2 to Denver in the 2017 championship game. Providence (24-12-6) was denied an opportunity to reach its first championship game since 2015, when the Friars beat Boston University 4-3 to win their first title. And they’ve learned how to win some of those games,” said Sandelin, who became the ninth coach to reach the championship game four times.
