Michigan hockey wins first Big Ten Tournament since 2016

The Michigan Wolverines (29-9-1) are your 2021-22 Big Ten Tournament champions for the second time in program history and the first time since 2016. Michigan defeated Minnesota for the third time this season, 4-3, but the game was far more one-sided than the final score would indicate.

However, it was far from an ideal start for Michigan when Minnesota forward Jaxson Nelson took a beautiful stretch pass and put the Gophers ahead 1-0 just 32 seconds into the contest.

Michigan quickly answered when Brendan Brisson went five-hole on a great feed from linemate Matty Beniers to even the score less than a minute later.
