Coming off of a tough series against the Wisconsin Badgers at Munn Ice Arena in East Lansing, the Michigan State Spartans headed to Notre Dame for the Big Ten Tournament, starting with their faceoff against the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Sunday afternoon. The Golden Gophers took the game, 2-1 in overtime, sending them to the semifinals on Monday.
There were no lineup changes from the Spartans’ loss against Wisconsin last Saturday. That includes the starting goaltender, as freshman Pierce Charleson was given the nod for Michigan State. Jack LaFontaine was tagged as the starting goaltender for the Golden Gophers in Sunday’s matchup.
