The Michigan State Spartans looked strong in a Big Ten clash against No. 8 Notre Dame on Friday night.
MSU was off to a strong start, scoring twice in the first two minutes of the game. Tanner Kelly scored his first goal of the season early on, and that was immediately followed by Dennis Cesana who scored off of a faceoff. Cesana has been the Big Ten’s top scoring defenseman since 2019.
The Spartans were quiet after that, but ended the first period with a 2-0 lead. Notre Dame had a strong second period, scoring twice.
