From USCHO

Michigan State (5-10-2, 4-8-1-0 CCHA) looks like a team that’s rebuilding this year, with young talent that needs to mature. The Spartans are in ninth place in the CCHA with 13 points and finished the first half on a high note, a 3-1 win over Ferris State that stopped a six-game winless streak and five-game losing streak. Another team struggling with offense, the Spartans are down 25 goals from where they were a year ago. Sophomore Matt Berry (9-7–16) leads MSU in scoring, followed by classmate Brent Darnell (5-8–13). Both players are on pace to exceed their goal output from their rookie seasons; Berry scored 11 goals in 37 games in 2011-12, Darnell six in 36. Freshman Jake Hildebrand (1.81 GAA, .941 SV%) has played in 10 of MSU’s games this season. The Spartans last captured the GLI title in 2009 and have won 12 total.

The Wolverines are the defending GLI champs for two years running and have captured four of the last five tournament titles. Michigan (6-9-2, 4-7-2-2 CCHA) is tied with Alaska for seventh in the CCHA, each team having 16 points. The Wolverines struggled in the first half in front of two freshmen goaltenders who lack confidence, largely because they’re not getting much help from the defense in front of them; UM’s defense is 52nd in the country, allowing 3.35 goals per game. At this point last year, the Wolverines had netted 71 goals in 20 games; this season, they’ve scored 50 through 17. Michigan halted a four-game winless streak with that 2-0 win over Western Dec. 15, the weekend salvaged by the play of junior goaltender Adam Janecyk, who made 25 saves in his first game of the season, his first collegiate shutout decision. That UM defense will be without its best player for this tournament, freshman Jacob Trouba, who is playing with Team USA in the IIHF World Junior Championship. The Wolverines have 15 GLI titles.

A huge 180 from last night's game for the Wolverines so far.

[Erik C.]

I think the puck willed its way in there for MSU.

[Erik C.]

Walrod got knocked goofy.

I joined this in progress. It sounds like that kind of hitting has been the norm so far this period. Gotta love rivalry hockey.

[Erik C.]

I'd be surprised if that doesn't get reviewed.

[Erik C.]

Well, the review happened, but Berry gets the goal anyway. 2-1 Spartans.

[Erik C.]

And that's how the period ends.

If I were Michigan, I'd just stay with it. Maybe even attempt to make bounces go your own way instead of the Spartans'.

[Erik C.]

Gotta do better than shoot it wide on that kind of opening.

[Erik C.]

Janecyk closed up that hole nicely.

[Erik C.]

I'm at a point where I think that if the Spartans get the next goal, that's ballgame.

[Erik C.]

Finally, something goes the Wolverines' way. Tied at 2.

[Erik C.]

The floodgates have opened, I guess. heh First lead for UM since 1-0.

[Erik C.]

Janecyk is finally getting his offensive support, that's for sure.

[Erik C.]

Give that kid an Oscar. heh

[Erik C.]

Hyman gets a freebie. He was fouled from behind with an empty net. It's over.

[Erik C.]

Alright, stop screwing around and finish this game off already.

Michigan goalie Adam Janecyk made 35 saves and Michigan came from behind to beat Michigan State, 5-2, today in the consolation game at the Great Lakes Invitational at Joe Louis Arena.

Janecyk gave up two first-period goals then shut the seventh-ranked Spartans (5-11-3) down the rest of the way. He stopped 24 shots in the final two periods.

Lee Moffie gave Michigan (7-10-2) a 1-0 lead, but Tanner Sorenson and Matt Berry put Michigan State on top 2-1 after one period.

The Wolverines scored three goals in the first nine minutes of the period and added an empty-netter at 18:06.

Jake Hildebrand made 31 saves for Michigan State.
