Luke Hughes plays overtime hero as MSU drops heartbreaker in Detroit

For No. 5-ranked Michigan , it was jubilation at Little Caesars Arena, with players taking turns hoisting the 50-plus pound "Iron D" trophy given to the winner of the annual "Duel in the D" following sophomore defenseman Luke Hughes' overtime winner with 0.6 seconds left in the session.

UM, who has now won seven straight games (two in overtime), now has sole possession of second place in the Big Ten with 35 points.

"I think it was two teams battling and a rivalry and there a good team and we think we are too, and it was just momentum shifts," UM coach Brandon Naurato said.
