Justen Close has had a superb season in 2023-24 for the Gophers (photo: Brad Rempel).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cNow it\u2019s the second season. It\u2019s win or go home. You\u2019ve got to play your best hockey.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s how Michigan State coach Adam Nightingale described the Spartans’ task this weekend against Ohio State in Big Ten semifinal action, and it sums up nicely what\u2019s at stake in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

Win or go home. Play your best hockey.<\/p>\n

The Big Ten semifinal games are single elimination, and every coach knows that absolutely anything can happen \u2013 especially Nightingale, whose Spartans earned a first-round bye with their regular-season title.<\/p>\n

Especially Nightingale, whose Spartans lost 6-2 to Ohio State at home Feb. 23.<\/p>\n

\u201cTon of respect for their coaching staff,\u201d said Nightingale. \u201cI think they\u2019ve done a heck of a job. I felt that way when we played them earlier in the year and obviously, the stretch they\u2019ve had here has been really good.\u201d<\/p>\n

In last week\u2019s best-of-three quarterfinal round, Ohio State traveled to Wisconsin and took two of three games from the Badgers, winning 2-1 Friday, losing 4-2 Saturday, and leaving no doubt in Sunday\u2019s 3-1 win. In spite of being outshot 30-22 in the deciding game, the Buckeyes were 1-for-2 on the power play and killed off all four Wisconsin advantages, and the Buckeyes kept the Badgers off the scoreboard for the first 58 minutes of the game.<\/p>\n

It was the first time a No. 7 seed had won a Big Ten championship playoff series \u2013 and Friday\u2019s win was the first win ever by a No. 7 seed in the B1G tournament.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really excited for and proud of the guys,\u201d said Ohio State coach Steve Rohlik after Sunday\u2019s win. \u201cWe\u2019ve come a long way.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Buckeyes had four Big Ten wins during the regular season, and Rohlik credited the \u201chard work and belief\u201d of his players. He added, \u201cWe get to live to fight another day.\u201d<\/p>\n

As lopsided as the match appears on paper, Nightingale is taking nothing for granted. \u201cIt says a lot about them to go into Wisconsin and do what they did. First time in the history of the Big Ten that that\u2019s happened. It\u2019s not a fluke. They\u2019re a legit hockey team.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve seen it over the years. Once you win a game \u2013 doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re on the road \u2013 you\u2019re in a series, and anything can happen,\u201d said Minnesota coach Bob Motzko, recapping the Golden Gophers\u2019 sweep of Penn State with Minnesota play-by-play guy, Wally Shaver.<\/p>\n

Motzko called the best-of-three series \u201cits own entity\u201d and said that he\u2019s seen \u201cso much craziness\u201d in series because it\u2019s so different from regular-season play and because there\u2019s so much at stake.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe easily could have lost that game Saturday and been back here Sunday, and we would have had to be good workers and punch the clock and come back to work,\u201d said Motzko.<\/p>\n

The Gophers got by the Nittany Lions easily Friday, scoring four unanswered goals following a tied first period to win 5-1.<\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s game was very different. The Gophers took a 2-0 lead after one with Penn State answering with two of their own in the second. Aaron Huglen\u2019s 12th goal of the season at 18:52 in the third won the game. Penn State outshot Minnesota 48-24 in the game. Justen Close made 46 saves in the win for the Gophers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about just survival,\u201d said Motzko. \u201cNow you feel more like the playoffs. You survive the two out of three. Now we\u2019ve got Michigan, and obviously we\u2019ve got some history.\u201d<\/p>\n

History is an understatement. The Wolverines are the defending Big Ten playoff champs, having beaten the Gophers 4-3 in last year\u2019s title game in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n

That game was a repeat of the 2021-22 Big Ten championship game. Same teams. Same score. Same venue.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey remember that,\u201d said Michigan coach Brandon Naurato. \u201cAnd they want to make a point that they\u2019re not going to let it happen a third time.\u201d<\/p>\n

On his weekly radio show with play-by-play announcer Al Randall, Narauto said that the Wolverines are excited to play a team they split a road series with just two weeks ago. \u201cI think it\u2019s good when a team hasn\u2019t seen your best and you feel really good about your team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a look at the head-to-head, single-elimination semifinal matches with overall stats. The winners will advance to the Big Ten championship game March 23 with the higher seed hosting.<\/p>\n

No. 4 Ohio State (14-19-4) at No. 1 Michigan State (22-9-3)<\/p>\n

The Buckeyes are 5-4-0 in their last nine games, which includes their last three regular-season series and last weekend against Wisconsin.<\/p>\n

Previous to their first-round bye last week, the Spartans were 6-4-0 in their last five regular-season series. Michigan State was 3-1-0 against Ohio State during the B1G season, and that loss came Feb. 23 in East Lansing.<\/p>\n

Scoring offense<\/strong>: Ohio State, 2.68 goals per game (45th); Michigan State, 3.91 (6th)
\nScoring defense<\/strong>: Ohio State, 3.30 goals allowed per game (52nd); Michigan State, 3.03 (34th)
\nPower play<\/strong>: Ohio State, 22.2% (22nd); Michigan State, 27.0% (4th)
\nPenalty kill<\/strong>: Ohio State, 72.0% (62nd); Michigan State, 80.6% (27th)
\nTop scorer<\/strong>: Ohio State, Stephen Halliday (10-26\u201436); Michigan State, Artyom Levshunov (9-23\u201432)
\nTop goal scorer<\/strong>: Ohio State, Scooter Brickey (13); Michigan State, Joey Larson (15)
\nGoaltender<\/strong>: Ohio State, Logan Terness (3.14 GAA, .902 SV); Michigan State, Trey Augustine (2.92 GAA, .917 SV%)<\/p>\n

Terness was in net for both of Ohio State\u2019s wins last weekend, but Kristoffer Eberly (2.98 GAA, .911 SV%) has seen action in 14 games this season.<\/p>\n

Neither the Buckeyes nor the Spartans has won the Big Ten playoff championship. Michigan State, in fact, has never made it to the title game. Ohio State has lost the championship game twice, to Wisconsin (2014) and Notre Dame (2018).<\/p>\n

No. 3 Michigan (20-13-3) at No. 2 Minnesota (22-9-5)<\/p>\n

Michigan is 6-4-0 in its last eight games, including last weekend\u2019s sweep of Notre Dame. The Wolverines bring a three-game win streak into this semifinal game, a streak that began with a 6-5 win in overtime against the Golden Gophers in Mariucci Arena.<\/p>\n

Including their sweep of Penn State last weekend, the Gophers are 7-2-1 in their last 10 games, with four (2-1-1) of those games going to overtime.<\/p>\n

Scoring offense<\/strong>: Michigan, 4.28 goals per game (3rd); Minnesota, 3.56 (10th)
\nScoring defense<\/strong>: Michigan, 3.06 goals allowed per game (t37th); Minnesota, 2.50 (t12th)
\nPower play<\/strong>: Michigan, 25.6% (1st); Minnesota, 23.6% (13th)
\nPenalty kill<\/strong>: Michigan, 78.0% (44th); Minnesota, 79.8% (36th)
\nTop scorer<\/strong>: Michigan, Gavin Brindley (23-27\u201450); Minnesota, Rhett Pitlick (19-16\u201435)
\nTop goal scorer<\/strong>: Michigan, Brindley (23); Minnesota, Jimmy Snuggerud (20)
\nGoaltender<\/strong>: Michigan, Jacob Barczewski (2.84 GAA, .908 SV%); Minnesota, Justen Close (2.33 GAA, .923 SV%)<\/p>\n

The Gophers have won the Big Ten playoff championship twice, beating Michigan in 2015 and Wisconsin in 2021.<\/p>\n

The Wolverines have won the B1G title three times, and all three titles were at the expense of the Gophers. In addition to the 2022 and 2023 championships, Michigan beat Minnesota in 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
