Following one of the worst weekends of the season, the MSU hockey team can’t be blamed if it’s trying to seek the answers to its inconsistencies. The Spartans dropped back-to-back games against Northern Michigan, the first of which prevented a 52-shot game from being a winning effort, and the second of which erased a 4-1 lead. Now the Spartans (12-16-4 overall, 8-14-2 CCHA) remain in 10th place in the CCHA standings and likely will need to sweep this weekend’s series at Alaska in order to have a chance at home-ice advantage in the first round of the CCHA Tournament. MSU is five points out of ninth place in the CCHA standings making it necessary to win at least three and possibly all four of its remaining games to just to have a chance at home ice. The Spartans’ offense broke its six-game streak of producing two goals or fewer in each game Saturday but suffered uncharacteristic defensive breakdowns that helped sixth-place Northern Michigan erase a 4-1 deficit and win, 6-5.
