• Michigan picked up its first win of the season to improve to 1-2 on the season. The Wolverines have not been swept in four two-game series against New Hampshire and have not been swept in a non-conference series at home since the 1970-71 season, when the Wolverines lost to Notre Dame on Feb. 19-20, 1971.
• Michigan and New Hampshire have met 13 times with the first meeting taking place on Nov. 4, 1983, at Yost Ice Arena (3-2, Michigan W-OT). UNH hosted a two-game weekend series last season at the Whittemore Center on Oct. 18-19, 2013. Michigan leads the all-time series, 7-3-3.
• For the third straight game to start the season, the Wolverines outshot their opponents in the first period (9-7). This was the first time that Michigan held its opposition off the scoreboard in the opening period of play. The Wolverines held a 34-32 shot advantage for the game, including a 17-9 margin in the second period.
• The Wolverines finished the night a perfect 4-for-4 on the penalty kill, their first perfect performance on the PK this season. Michigan went 0-for-5 on the man-advantage and has yet to score on the power play this season.
• Junior goaltender Steve Racine made 30 saves in net in his first start of the season to earn the win. Racine improved his career record to 20-10-4 and has allowed one goal or less in seven career starts.
• Sophomore defenseman Michael Downing and freshman defenseman Cutler Martin each scored for the Wolverines, marking the first time that two different Michigan defensemen have scored in a game since Dec. 2, 2013, when Downing and Mac Bennett scored in a 5-4 win at Ohio State.
• With an assist on Cutler Martin's second-period goal, Alex Kile now has points in each of Michigan's first three games (G, 2A). Martin and fellow freshman Alex Talcott made their first regular-season appearances for the Wolverines
• Michigan head coach Red Berenson needs just 11 wins to become the fourth head coach in Division I men's hockey with 800 victories. Berenson recorded his 789th victory behind the bench tonight.
