The Michigan State hockey team scored two unanswered goals and held rival Michigan to just five shots on goal in the third period to notch a 2-1 victory Friday night in front of a sellout crowd at Munn Ice Arena.
With the win, the Spartans (12-6-1, 6-4-1 Big Ten, ranked No. 12 in the USCHO.com poll) bounced back from back-to-back losses to Minnesota, and snapped a six-game losing skid against the No. 6 Wolverines (11-7-1, 3-6-0).
After T.J. Hughes gave Michigan a 1-0 lead at 13:29 mark in the first period, Cole Krygier matched it with a shorthanded goal at 17:04.
