Icers find scoring Friday, lose it Saturday
The MSU hockey team’s seven-goal turnaround from Friday to Saturday demonstrates the importance of early goals. On Friday, the Spartans scored two first-period goals and created all the scoring chances it needed to score a season-high seven goals, but struggled early in Saturday’s game and earned very few good scoring chances in a 4-0 loss in a series split against No.

Icers tie, lose, 3-2, in shootout
Following a 4-0 win in Friday’s opener, the MSU hockey team could not make it a series sweep as it fell, 3-2, in a shootout at Lake Superior State on Saturday. The game was tied 2-2 before the Lakers scored two shootout goals to the one Spartan goal by freshman forward Greg Wolfe, and the win keeps Lake Superior State ahead of MSU in the CCHA standings. MSU was looking for its first road series sweep in two seasons, but falls to 9-11-4 overall and 5-9-2 in conference. Freshman goalie Will Yanakeff stopped 34 of 36 shots that came his way, and Laker goalie Kevin Kapalka made 31 saves. Junior defenseman Brock Shelgren scored at 5:59 of the first period, and sophomore forward Derek Grant added a power play goal at 16:32 of the period for MSU. The Lakers (6-11-5, 4-8-4-3) scored a shorthanded goal at 15:11 of the first period and scored another goal at 11:26 of the second period, but neither team could score for the rest of regulation and overtime. The Lakers had to go to the fourth round of the shootout to secure victory. MSU managed six goals for the weekend after being shut out in three of four previous CCHA games. It next plays a two-game series against Miami (Ohio) at 7:30 p.m.
