Hyman's five-point night was the first for a Wolverine since Aaron Palushaj had five points (G, 4A) against Nebraska-Omaha on Feb. 13, 2009. Hyman had the first hat trick since Andrew Sinelli had three goals against Michigan State on March 7, 2014.
• Michigan recorded eight or more goals in a game for the first time since Oct. 13, 2011, when the Wolverines earned a 10-3 win over St. Lawrence at Yost Ice Arena. The eight goals are the most by a Michigan team in a road game since an 8-5 win at Notre Dame on Nov. 4, 2005.
• Twelve different Wolverines recorded points in the contest, and four had multiple point nights (Hyman, Larkin, Kile and Werenski).
