Michigan State hockey took a big step towards another Big Ten regular season title on Saturday night.
The Spartans knocked off No. 4 Minnesota on Saturday night with a shootout victory. It was a back-and-forth game with the difference coming in a shootout thanks to goals from Daniel Russell and Isaac Howard. The final score was 3-3.
The game will be considered a tie officially, but the shootout win for the Spartans means they’ll get the extra point in the Big Ten standings. Michigan State earned five of the six available points in this weekend’s two-game series against Minnesota. The Spartans now hold a five-point lead over the Golden Gophers in Big Ten play.
