EAST LANSING - The Michigan State hockey team played No. 19 Michigan to a 1-1 tie on Friday night at Munn Ice Arena. Michigan won the shootout, 1-0, to earn the extra point in the Big Ten standings. MSU goaltender John Lethemon finished with 37 saves, while Carson Gatt scored the Spartans’ lone goal.
“I thought we battled really hard, did a lot of good things and blocked a lot of pucks,” MSU head coach Danton Cole said. “I think we’ll do a couple things better tomorrow and spend a little more time in the offensive zone.
