The top two teams in college hockey face off in a two-game series this weekend. That they also happen to be eternal rivals makes it all the better.
No. 1 Michigan meets No. 2 Michigan State in their second series of the season, with the Wolverines hosting Friday’s game and Saturday’s matchup set to take place on neutral ice at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit.

The teams split their games in early December, with each winning at the other’s home rink. Michigan has won six in a row since falling to the Spartans on Dec. 6, while MSU has won 10 of 11, including an overtime triumph over Penn State in an outdoor game at Beaver Stadium last weekend.
