The No. 8 Michigan Wolverines will welcome the No. 6 Minnesota Golden Gophers to Yost Arena this weekend for a pivotal Big Ten matchup. This will be Michigan’s second-straight top-10 opponent after dropping two, one-goal heartbreakers last weekend in Madison. The Wolverines share the dubious honor of being swept by Wisconsin with its opponent this weekend.
The preseason pick to win the Big Ten (again) and last season’s national runner-up has gotten off to a rocky start this season. After an expected 3-0 start to the year, the Gophers have only one win in their last five games.
