- Analysis: After getting into the second period, Michigan dominated the puck and mostly controlled the game. While they didn’t get tons of shots from the House, they were still able to hold the zone and keep Marotte honest. Anthony always talks about how a high number of easy saves will keep a goalie warm. That’s pretty much what happened tonight. Michigan did have a few chances to finish at even strength, but they could not get the winner. Van Whye bombed a loose puck from the slot to tie the game. He had a similar chance to win it, but it went wide. Clarkson was not a great possession team last season, and they did a great job of keeping the puck out of the net altogether. Michigan had chances, but not enough finishes.
