The Michigan Wolverines with newly-named permanent head coach Brandon Naurato are set to take on Quinnipiac this evening in the Frozen Four in pursuit of the program’s first national title appearance since 2011.
Going back to last year’s Regional Final in Allentown, Michigan gleefully skated off the ice and into the Frozen Four after routing Quinnipiac, 7-4, and chasing young freshman goalie Yaniv Perets after only two periods. The Bobcats and Perets are back for revenge against the Wolverines.
Quinnipiac is a veteran-laden team who specializes in defensive execution.
