KANSAS CITY, Mo. - T.J. Tynan scored the only goal early in the third period as Notre Dame defeated Maine 1-0 in the opening round of the Ice Breaker Tournament at the Sprint Center on Friday.

Using assists from Bryan Rust and Robbie Russo, Tynan stuffed the puck between Dan Sullivan's pads 2:59 into the third period.
Sullivan had a strong game for Maine, stopping 33 shots, including an outstanding pad save late in the second period.
The Black Bears (0-2) struggled on offense, managing just six shots in each of the first two periods and were outshot 34-22 for the game.
The Black Bears were unable to score on any of their four power plays, but also did not allow Notre Dame to score on any of its man advantages.
Maine pulled Sullivan for the final minute, but any advantage created by the extra skater was nullified when the team was called for too many men on the ice with 15 seconds left.
Maine will play either Army or Nebraska- Omaha in the 4:30 p.m. consolation Saturday. Notre Dame (1-0) will play at 7 p.m.
It was Notre Dame's fourth win in five meetings between the teams, dating back to Nov. 1991. Maine actually won back-to-back games against the Irish that season, but had to forfeit them due to ineligible players.
The teams last played in December 2003 -- also a 1-0 victory for the Irish.
