After Arizona State (6-14-2) pulled out a late-game victory in game one against Michigan State (7-11-2) in yesterday’s matchup, the Spartans returned the favor in game two, as MSU scored a late game-winner in the third period to edge past the Sun Devils 2-1 on Monday afternoon.
The winning goal didn’t come without controversy, however. On the game-winner from Michigan State forward Nico Muller, Muller and ASU defenseman Jacob Semik were jousting for position as a loose puck sat in the crease to the side of Sun Devil netminder Cole Brady.
Semik tied up Muller’s stick, and the two players momentum brought them into the net.
