The Michigan Wolverines’ hockey team’s first Big Ten series of the season featured the Wolverines at their best, and then at their worst.
Just about everything clicked in Thursday’s shutout victory over Wisconsin, Michigan’s first shutout of 2021-22. And then not much clicked in Friday’s loss, during which the Badgers got the bounces they needed in order to steal a split from the No. 3 team in the country.
The score of Thursday’s contest was 3-0, but it easily could have been much worse. Wisconsin goalie Jared Moe absolutely stood on his head, making 38 saves (33 in the first two periods) to keep his team in the game.
