The Michigan Wolverines (23-7-1, 14-6) remain red hot after completing the season sweep over the weekend against the spiraling Michigan State Spartans (11-18-1, 5-15) who have now lost 10 games in a row.
Despite being down their top four scorers due to Olympic participation in Beijing, the Wolverines won at Yost on Friday, 6-2, and again in Detroit (“Duel in the D”) on Saturday, 7-3. The Spartans never led in either game and only scored in two of the six periods.
Both games featured four-goal outbursts from Michigan to erase any hope Michigan State may have had entering the third periods.
