Things got a bit dicey for a few minutes on Sunday night but the Michigan Wolverines defeated Quinnipiac 7-4 to advance to yet another Frozen Four.
After taking a 4-0 lead into the third period, Quinnipiac scored three unanswered goals to cut the Wolverines lead to 4-3 with 8:58 remaining in the game.
That’s when Quinnipiac rolled the dice by pulling their goalie to get a man advantage and it backfired when Michael Pastujov scored an empty-net goal to put the Wolverines up 5-3.
RW Nolan Moyle scored two goals and D Owen Power dished out four assists for Michigan as they now advance to the Frozen Four in Boston.
No. 1 Michigan will take on No. 1 Denver in the semifinals, while 1 Minnesota State will take on No. 2 Minnesota in the other semifinal. Both games will take place on April 7 with the winners squaring off on April 9.
GO BLUE!
