He regressed last year in terms of offensive productivity, racking up 14 less points than his freshmen and sophomore years. However, Lewandowski was still third on the team in goals (8) and fourth on the team in assists (12).

Minnesota and Michigan had the most players selected to All-Big Ten teams with four honorees each.

Additionally, the Preseason Big Ten Poll was released. Michigan State checked in at sixth place out of seven teams. Minnesota sits at the top of the poll followed by Michigan and Notre Dame.

Both the All-Big Ten teams and the Preseason Poll were voted upon by Big Ten coaches.
