EAST LANSING – Minnesota was one very selfish hockey team on Friday night at Munn Arena.
The Gophers wouldn’t let Michigan State have the puck after the first 10 minutes of the game. It’s tough to score when you don’t have the puck and, of course, it’s tough to win when you can’t put the puck in the net.
Minnesota won the time of possession by a wide margin and held an edge in most all of the key moments in the game, and the end result was a solid 4-2 victory over the Spartans in the first game of the Big Ten series.
