The No. 6/7 Michigan Wolverines are 2-0 following a weekend sweep over the Lindenwood Lions at Yost Ice Arena in Ann Arbor. The weekend got off to an inauspicious start, but the Wolverines were able to quickly quell any hope of an upset.
On Friday night, 15 different Wolverines found the score sheet, but that doesn’t begin to tell the whole story. From the puck drop, Michigan looked very rusty and the lack of chemistry was — albeit expected — undeniable. The Wolverines could not capitalize on power plays and interim head coach Brandon Naurato’s approach of “quality over quantity” shots seemed ineffective.
