Recapping notable college hockey game for Friday, October 18.
Michigan improved to 4-0-1 all-time against St. Cloud State with a 3-0 win over the Huskies on Friday. The Wolverines scored three times in the third period.
“They know what fighting the right way is,” Wolverines head coach Brandon Naurato said. “I think we got away from it early to see what kind of game it was, instead of setting the standard. We just got back to our game (in the third).”
Garrett Schifsky opened the scoring less than five minutes into the frame with his third shorthanded goal of the season already.
Michael Hage then scored in 4v4 play after taking the puck to the net. The Montreal Canadiens draft pick now has goals in his last four games.
Philippe Lapointe sealed the game with an empty-netter from the right-wing circle, marking goals in back-to-back games for the graduate forward.
Logan Stein, making his third start, stopped all 21 shots sent his way for his first shutout.

Tanner Adams found the back of the net twice in the first period and added a goal in the third, cementing the hat trick in the Friar's 4-1 win, and third in four tries all-time, over the Sun Devils.
"I loved our start. We were ready to go right from the start," Providence head coach Nate Leaman said. "That's a big plus. I thought we had a pretty good first period. I thought in the second period, we just started playing the scoreboard too much instead of playing our shifts."
Graduate center Logan Will, who transferred in from Colorado College, scored his first goal in a Friars sweater in the second period.
