Michigan hockey punches ticket to NCAA-record 26th Frozen Four

Special to The Detroit News

Four is the magic number.

Michigan got a goal from every member of its fourth line — two from Nolan Moyle — and staved off a four-goal third period from Quinnipiac to win its NCAA Quarterfinal matchup, 7-4, in Allentown, Pennsylvania, on Sunday, punching its ticket to its NCAA-record 26th Frozen Four.

It's the Wolverines' first Frozen Four since 2018. The entire 2020 NCAA hockey season was cut short due to the pandemic and Michigan was forced to withdraw from last season's NCAA Tournament after a number of positive COVID tests.
