The Michigan Wolverines’ hockey team extended its winning streak to four games as they took down Penn State 3-2 and 4-3 in the two-game series this past weekend.
With the sweep, Michigan moved to first place in the Big Ten, just ahead of Minnesota and Ohio State.
Special Teams
Michigan’s special teams went a long way towards the two wins, scoring three of its seven goals against Penn State. Scoring two power play goals Friday night, the Wolverines were able to take advantage of Penn State’s netminder Oskar Autio’s attempt to move the puck up the ice, which led to Nolan Moyle tipping it out of midair and scoring on a breakaway with Jimmy Lambert.
