This weekend was the first of two straight off weeks for ASU. I guess they needed time to thaw out from the trip to Alaska.
MSU played a rare Thursday/Saturday series this weekend, with a home-and-homer against archrival Michigan.
Thursday night's game saw MSU on the road in Ann Arbor. The Wolverines jumped out to 2-0 and 3-1 leads before the Spartans rallied back to win it 4-3. Nodler had an assist on the PPGWG.
Saturday night's action shifted to East Lansing where the Spartans defended home ice with a 3-0 win. Nodler scored the opening goal of the game (and eventual game winner) 2 minutes into the game.
Mattson didn't play in either game.
After starting their season with a flawless 8-0-0 record, Denver has struggled the last two weeks. This weekend, North Dakota came calling.
Friday night's game goes into the books as a 1-1 tie, with North Dakota winning the NCHC tie-breaking OT. Pettersen had no points.
Saturday's game was a 4-1 win for UND. Pettersen broke the shutout halfway through the third, but by then the damage was done and the Pioneers couldn't get any closer.
