EAST LANSING – In each of the last two games between Michigan State and the highly skilled U.S. National Team Development Program’s Under-18 team, forward Dylan Pavelek and goaltender Ed Minney have been on the winning team.
Two seasons ago, Pavelek and Minney were members of the U-18 team that knocked off the Spartans, 4-3 in overtime, at Munn Arena.
As MSU freshmen last season, Pavelek and Minney played key roles as the Spartans skated to a 4-1 victory over the U.S. team, also at Munn Arena.
Minney played the last two periods, made 12 saves and was named the game’s No.
