How they got here:
Bloomington Jefferson: defeated #8-seed Shakopee 12-0, #4-seed Burnsville 6-0
Edina: defeated #7-seed Prior Lake 10-1, #3-seed Academy of Holy Angels 4-1
Records away from home ice:
Bloomington Jefferson: 14-1-0
Edina: 11-2-0
Prediction:
Offense: Even | Bloomington Jefferson has not been held to less than two goals all season. They had two goals twice, one was a 2-1 win against Eden Prairie and the other a 5-2 loss to Eden Prairie. They've scored three goals three times. Of the 27 games Bloomington Jefferson played so far this season, the Jaguars have scored four or more goals in 22 of those games. Edina has scored four or more goals in 19 of their 27 games.
Jefferson's scoring is more balanced. During the regular season, the Jaguars had six players in double figures for goals and those six players made up 67.4% (95 of 141 goals) of their total goal production. Edina, on the other hand, had four players in double figures and those four made up 73.2% (93 of 127 goals) of their total goal production. Still, not too many teams can slow down Everson, Lee, and Gaarder who, by themselves, have averaged 3.2 goals per game. As a team, Edina averages 5.2 goals per game, Jefferson 5.9.
Defense: Bloomington Jefferson | As a team, Jefferson shutout 11 opponents this season, Edina six. The Jaguars allow a stingy 17 shots per game. Edina is not too far behind at at 19.8. Tonight, both teams will most likely see at least 10 more shots better that those averages. Still, I like the Jaguars chances at being able to slow down the Hornets top three scorers.
Goaltending: Bloomington Jefferson | Casey O'Connor was selected as Top Goaltender for a reason. Edina's Johnny Ankeny is a good contender but O'Connor is a little bit better and it is enough of a difference to make a difference in a big game like this.
