The Notre Dame Fighting Irish closed out their series against the Michigan State Spartans Saturday in South Bend. This followed Notre Dame’s 5-0 win against the Spartans Friday. While the Irish took control during the first at the start of the series, this time around, it was the Spartans who set the tone in the first twenty minutes.
First Period
An early boarding penalty on Michigan State’s Cole Krygier marked the first power play goal opportunity of the period for either team, but the Irish failed to capitalize.
As the period approached its final five minutes, Michigan State’s Jagger Joshua nabbed the first goal of the game.
