DU beat 15th-ranked Omaha 5-0 Friday night.

"Our collective intensity and urgency is back," Denver coach Jim Montgomery told denverpioneers.com

Henrik Borgström had a goal and an assist and Logan O'Connor two assists for Denver Saturday night.

DU has won four of its last five games after only winning one game in the previous five contests and losing its place atop the nation's rankings.

Last year, Jaillet won the Mike Richter Award as NCAA's top goalie in the 2016-17 season.
