Michigan
Date of Game Against Cornell: November 24
Analysis: Goaltending continues to plague the Wolverines. After an inconsistent weekend with Rutledge in goal (a stellar save percentage on Friday and a dismal one on Saturday), the Wolverines looked to rebound against then number 8 Notre Dame. The Wolverines were not able to score more than a goal in each game, dropping both match-ups to the Irish. The games could not have been more different, despite the similarity of the results. In the first game, the Irish put 32 shots on net, with 3 entering. Michigan was outshot by a margin of 32-25. Saturday, however, the Wolverines put more shots on net. Michigan had the edge by a margin of 29-19, but the score ended up as 4-1 with an empty netter.
Key PWR Points: Same as last week. A split with Michigan State, tie over Northern Michigan, split with Miami, win over Bentley, split with RIT
