No. 15 Arizona State’s 2020 hockey season didn’t get out to an ideal start on Saturday, as the Sun Devils were blown out and fell 8-1 at the hands of No. 12 Michigan at Yost Arena in Ann Arbor.
For ASU, there weren’t any positives of Saturday’s matchup with the Wolverines. Michigan led 6-0 midway through the second period and 12 different players had points. It was a beat down from the opening puck drop.
Head coach Greg Powers noted an out of the ordinary start could possibly trace back to arriving in Michigan late last night, then turning around for the early puck drop this afternoon, which was scheduled earlier than anticipated.
