The final series of 2020 began for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish on Saturday night as they welcomed the Michigan State Spartans to Compton Family Ice Arena. It was the first series for the Spartans in two weeks, as last weekend’s matchup against the Wisconsin Badgers was postponed due to COVID-19 issues within the Wisconsin program, while the Irish came into the series still looking for their first home sweep in what is shaping up to be a tight race in the Big Ten.

Power-plays have been a struggle for both teams this season, and tonight was no different.
