The Minnesota Gophers men’s hockey team will look to continue to cement their spot at the top of the Big Ten standings this weekend when the Michigan Wolverines come to town for a series. Michigan currently sits in sixth place in the Big Ten standings, but yet ranks #8 in the Pairwise rankings and #7/8 in the national polls. Which Wolverine team will show up is unknown.
The Gophers bounced back into Big Ten play last weekend taking four of six points t Notre Dame. The Gophers tied the Irish 2-2 on Friday before dropping the shootout to lose the extra conference standings point, but came back to earn a 3- shutout win on Saturday.
