Ohio State Men’s Hockey Falls Just Short in Double-Overtime Battle with No. 1 Seed Michigan State in Big Ten Tournament Championship Game

Ohio State men’s hockey fell just short of winning its first Big Ten Tournament championship.

The Buckeyes came back from a 3-1 deficit in the third period and forced double overtime against No. 1 seed Michigan State on its home ice, but suffered a 4-3 defeat to the Spartans in the end.

What a battle. Spartans score with 4:51 left in the second overtime for the win.

It appeared as though Michigan State would win comfortably for most of regulation.
