After leading the World Junior Championship in goals, Porter Martone made his return to the Michigan State Spartans on Friday night, facing the Ohio State Buckeyes. He quickly made the most of his return to college hockey, potting two first period goals and adding two assists along the way.
The game opened somewhat quietly, but firmly in Michigan State’s favor. Ohio State was held without a shot for the first twelve minutes, and even then it came on a wrist shot from long range. After winning a puck battle, Cayden Lindstrom found Anthony Romani in the slot to open the scoring.
