Spartans Hockey Skates On... Barely
Nick King/Lansing State Journal / USA TODAY NETWORKIt was another tense game for the MSU men’s hockey team as they opened up their NCAA Tournament appearance with a performance that left a lot to be desired, but also showed this team is never out of it. That said, Friday night, this team was (hands an inch apart) close to being eliminated. It took a strong third period attack, and admittedly a bit of good fortune, for the Spartans to come back from a two-goal deficit against the Western Michigan Broncos to force overtime. There, for the second time in less than a week, an unlikely hero emerged to give MSU a 5-4 victory in the extra session.
