ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The No. 16-ranked University of Michigan ice hockey team (5-5-1) host Lake Superior State University (7-6-0) to conclude their weekend series at Yost Ice Arena. The Saturday (Nov. 26) matchup starts at 7:30 p.m.
• The Wolverines are coming off of a 3-1 loss at the hands of Lake Superior State last night. Tony Calderone scored the lone goal in the win on the power play, while Jack LaFontaine registered 25 saves in the losing effort.
• Michigan faces the Lakers for the 117th time in a series that dates back to 1973. The Wolverines lead the all-time series 61-48-7.
• The in-state foes split a weekend series last time they played, during the 2012-13 season, as former conference rivals in the CCHA. Michigan claimed Friday's contest by the score of 6-4 but dropped Saturday's decision, 3-2. Luke Moffatt racked up three points (2 G, 1A) in the Friday win.
• Michigan has dominated the most-recent matchups, winning 14 straight from February 2007 until January 2012. Dating back to 2000, the Maize and Blue is 31-6-1 against the Lakers.
• This weekend's series marks the end of a five-game homestand, including a shutout win over No. 4 Boston University. The weekend also marks the end of non-conference play, as the Wolverines travel to Penn State next weekend for their first Big Ten series.
UP AHEAD: Michigan hockey will be hosting a food drive on Saturday, Dec. 10, when the Wolverines host Wisconsin. Fans are encouraged to bring in canned food items to benefit Food Gather's Food Bank of Ann Arbor. Any fan who brings at least two canned food items will receive a foam puck to throw onto the ice immediately following the conclusion of the game. Prizes will be awarded to the five fans who chuck their pucks closest to the targets.
