DETROIT – Michigan State’s first game against Michigan this season was supposed to be on Jan. 20 at Yost Arena in Ann Arbor.
After the first two games of the Great Lakes Invitational on Thursday, that’s no longer the case.
The Spartans and Wolverines, much to the chagrin of both teams, find themselves matched against each other on Friday afternoon in dreaded the third-place game of the GLI at Joe Louis Arena.
Michigan State’s special teams were anything but special on Thursday as Western Michigan scored four power-play goals in the first two periods and cruised to a 4-1 victory in the GLI’s second semifinal.
