The Michigan Wolverines’ hockey team didn’t have some of it’s key players a week ago, and it showed, but they got them back and felt their contributions immediately. The Wolverines were able to sweep the defending national champions, the 10th ranked UMass Minutemen, 4-1 and 4-2 over the weekend.
It may not have looked like a dominating sweep in terms of goal differential, but anyone who watched both games could look at how they were won and know Michigan dominated puck-possession and offensive zone time. Those are two things the Wolverines do very well and better than almost any other team in college hockey.
