Tropp
MSU junior forward Corey Tropp is out of the lineup for Saturday’s do-or-die matchup against Michigan with an apparent injury.
Tropp is the Spartans’ leading point-getter, racking up 42 points in 37 games this season. Tropp is also tied for the conference lead with 20 goals.
The Spartans most dynamic offensive threat came out of the tunnel after warm-ups and skated for about 30 seconds in front of the MSU bench before heading back into the locker room. An MSU athletics communications official said Tropp stepped on a puck during warm-ups.
If the Spartans are to extend their season, they must win tonight to prevent being swept by U-M in the quarterfinals of the CCHA Tournament.
Tropp will be replaced by freshman forward Kevin Walrod.
