As I said above, I was pleasantly surprised about how well she played her first game in two years. She didn't dominate, but she was definitely noticeable, and one of the UND defensemen almost had her pocket picked at the top of the circle. Kessel didn't shy away from action in the corners and along the boards. In all, I think she'll be a very good addition to the team even if she doesn't reach the level she was at in 2013. She needs to build up her stamina, and I have no idea how long that will take.
And adding her won't exactly hurt a power play already clicking at 48%. They've now converted all three chances they've had in the last three games.

Re: Kessel returns
She also helped put the Gopher women on the front page of the Star Tribune's sports section this morning, which is pretty rare:
