After a big final weekend that saw them move up in the conference standings, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish hockey team begin the Big Ten tournament at home with a best of three series against the Michigan State Spartans. Last weekend Notre Dame won both games against the Michigan Wolverines to secure the #4 seed in the conference tournament. That was just enough to get them their first three games in South Bend but it will still be an uphill battle for them to make the run necessary to qualify for the NCAA tournament.
