SOUTH BEND – Notre Dame coach Jeff Jackson decided his 12th-ranked Fighting Irish needed to get a little more physical for their Big Ten season-opening hockey series with visiting Michigan State this weekend.
After beating visiting Western Michigan 2-0 last Friday and then losing 4-0 in Kalamazoo last Saturday, Jackson tweeked his lines and got immediate results.
New linemates Chayse Primeau and Ryder Rolston each scored a goal and added a pair of assists, while center Hunter Strand and defenseman Nick Leivermann each had a goal and an assist.
