ST. PAUL, Minn. — For a moment, it seemed like Notre Dame’s luck had reached the end of the road. Despite managing a power play just 34 seconds into the contest — and against Michigan’s not-so-stellar penalty kill — the top-seeded Irish (28-9, 17-6 Big Ten) failed to capitalize.

After earning the Big Ten regular-season title, No. 2 Notre Dame defeated No. 5 Ohio State in overtime to win the Big Ten championship Saturday night. The Irish (25-9-2, 17-6-1 Big Ten) got off to an uncharacteristically hot start in the first period. Roughly four minutes after the puck dropped, senior forward Bo Brauer slotted

No. 1 Notre Dame had a bounce-back on its mind coming into Friday’s home matchup with No. 18 Michigan, as it was looking to recover from a disappointing 5-1 loss at the hands of Ohio State last Saturday. The Irish were not able to rally from an early 2-0 deficit, however, dropping their second-consecutive Big
