Michigan hockey took 3 points from Michigan Tech at Yost barely two months ago. The fortunes for both teams have changed significantly since then. When the teams drop the puck on the 52nd annual Great Lakes Invitational it is the Huskies who will be favored.
Tech is 11-2-1 in its last 14 games. They ended the season’s first half one of the nation’s hottest teams. Michigan is under .500 since the October matchup. What has caused the disparity?
For Tech, good things happened when they put freshman Angus Redmond into net. Tech’s experienced defensive corps (with multiple NHL draft picks) have taken over with an anchor in the crease.
