All good things come to an end.
Michigan has been one of the best teams in all of college hockey in 2020, and heading into their series against Notre Dame this weekend they were 8-1-1 this calendar year. However, all the momentum Michigan gained of late came to an abrupt halt during their final home series of the season vs. the Fighting Irish.
With the Wolverines in must-win mode to get an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament, things looked good on paper heading into the weekend tilt with ND. Michigan swept them in South Bend in early January, but in this rivalry each team gets their licks in throughout the season, and it was ND’s turn to land the significant strikes.
