After splitting its first series of the season with Providence last weekend, Michigan hockey did the same this weekend. The No. 6 ranked Wolverines hit the road for their first two away games of the season against UMass, a series which featured high-scoring games on both Friday and Saturday.
In Friday’s contest, the Wolverines got off to a hot start, posting a pair of goals in the late first period thanks to T.J. Hughes and Garrett Schifsky. Schifsky would add another goal in the second period, while Dylan Duke and Seamus Casey each scored goals as well. As a result, Michigan held a 5-1 lead heading into the final period.
