Tweets Of The Day
Michigan hockey knocked off No. 4 Minnesota in overtime, 3-2, Friday night at Yost Ice Arena. More from MGoBlue.com:
Defenseman Ethan Edwards kicked off his Senior Weekend in style with a game-winning goal in overtime to seal a 3-2 victory for the 12th-ranked University of Michigan ice hockey team over fourth-ranked Minnesota on Friday night (Feb. 14) at Yost Ice Arena, securing a second point in the Big Ten standings.
The victory marked U-M’s sixth in overtime this season, the most for a Wolverines team since the 1998 national champions won seven in extra time, including the national title game.
Each side soared up and down the ice as the foes traded chances in the extra session while playing 3-on-3 until Michigan (17-12-2, 11-9-1 Big Ten) drew a penalty for hooking while driving hard to the net with 2:01 remaining to earn a man-advantage.
The puck did not leave Minnesota’s zone. Twenty-four seconds later, the Wolverines scored a game-winning goal at 3:23. T.J. Hughes corralled an errant pass on the left flank before button-hooking back toward the action and zipping a seam pass through the heart of the zone and onto the tape of Edwards, who launched a one-timer into the yawning cage. The goal was verified following a late challenge by the Gophers.
Michael Hage earned the second assist on Edwards’ game-winning goal.

Quote Of The Day
“I’ve been excited about Andre since he came in. I had a chance to evaluate him as an eighth grader, and that’s when I knew he was special. He would do certain things against upperclassmen, and it was effortless. Getting to know him as a person has been pleasant. Sometimes, when young men have that talent, they excuse their judgment and perspective on life. But he’s always been humble. He’s not just a regular kid, but he takes a regular kid approach. It’s always good to have that type of guy around the team. I’m excited to see his growth as a senior. He has a great opportunity to lead this team, and that’s the expectation.”
