The first period wasn't the best period of hockey the Mavericks have played all year, and they are lucky they are only down by two goals. MTU scored twice in just over a minute on a pair of rebound goals. MSU cannot afford to continue its sloppy play because a loss here would hurt them in the PairWise rankings, in which they are tied for eighth, and every game is important if they want to make the NCAA Tournament. A loss here could come back to haunt them.
1st Period Scoring Summary
14:24 - Kattelus (Foote, Kinrade) 1-0 MTU
15:35 - Gagne (Shelast, Vlaisavljevich) 2-0 MTU
More of the same for the Mavericks in the second, with Matt Tyree getting nailed with a 5 minute major penalty and a game misconduct for checking from behind. The Huskies wasted little time taking advantage of the power play and made it 3-0. That was the only goal of the major penalty, and MSU looks very flat and needs a few bounces to get back in this game.
2nd Period Scoring Summary
13:22 - Kinrade (Dobson, Rouleau) PPG 3-0 MTU
The Mavericks managed to get two goals to make it a game, but it was too little too late as MTU was able to hold on for the win. This is a tough loss for MSU in terms of their national tournament hopes, but they will still host a playoff game here next weekend. Who is will be against will be determined when all the games have been completed later tonight.
3rd Period Scoring Summary
5:23 - Wiley (Berge, Kalinski) PPG 3-1 MTU
14:12 - Mouillierat (Bruess, Davis) 3-2 MTU
