The Michigan Wolverines (25-9-1, 16-8) lost in regulation for the first time since Dec. 11 and did so again on Saturday. Notre Dame (24-8, 16-6) completed the season sweep of the Wolverines en route to denying Michigan their first ever Big Ten regular season title. Game 1 was 4-1 and Game 2 was 2-1.
Despite out-shooting Notre Dame in both games, Michigan’s high-powered offense was only able to generate one goal in each game. Chemistry issues plagued the Wolverines as they struggled to reintegrate their four Olympians into the flow of the game.
