The Michigan Wolverines (20-9-1) are in sole possession of second place in the Big Ten after their sweep over rival Michigan State (15-15-2). The first game was a street fight disguised as a hockey game. Michigan and Michigan State combined for a whopping 105 penalty minutes (!) in a rumpus contest of mood swings and fisticuffs.
Michigan jumped out to a commanding 3-0 lead in the first period, which featured a goal from Gavin Brindley and Mackie Samoskevich, and one goal and one assist from Adam Fantilli. It’s a good thing Fantilli left his mark early on because his weekend came to an end in the second period.
