The series against Notre Dame brought the first two loses of the season for Mel Pearson and his Wolverines squad. In the Friday game, Notre Dame jumped out to a 3-0 lead before Michigan mounted a comeback. Unfortunately, the Wolverines came up short and the Irish took the win by the score of 3-2.
The Saturday game played out in a rather unique fashion. All goals were scored in the last 2:14 of the game, including an empty netter that gave Notre Dame the 2-1 win. Despite having six skaters against four Irish defenders for the last 46 seconds thanks to a late Notre Dame penalty, Michigan weren’t able to equalize.
