After two thrilling third-period comebacks on Friday night, destiny would not be denied. The Spartans, fueled by their signature depth, rallied down two goals in the third period to force overtime and beat Western Michigan. Michigan entered the third trailing by one against North Dakota — a team that was 20-0-0 when leading after two periods — and found a way without superstar Seamus Casey to win, 4-3.
Now, for the sixth time this season, it is the Michigan Wolverines versus the Michigan State Spartans, only this time it’s win or go home with a Frozen Four berth on the line.
