Jimmy Mullin played in an official game for the first time in well over a year, scoring in a 3-2 Minnesota State upset loss to Nebraska-Omaha. Mullin was last seen with the University of Miami (Ohio), where he sustained a major knee injury while playing sparingly in his junior season. He redshirted last season at Miami and transferred to Mankato in the summer. Mullin showed well at the Lightning’s prospect development camp in July and carried that into the season, matching his junior season goal total in one night.
