No. 3 Michigan State wraps up its nonconference schedule Saturday, Nov. 7, when it hosts No. 13 Boston University at 4:30 p.m. at Ron Mason Rink at Munn Ice Arena in East Lansing. The Spartans are trying to bounce back from Friday’s 6-2 loss in the series opener, their last weekend before Big Ten play begins.

Where things stand

Michigan State is 5-2-0 and was ranked third in both the USCHO and USA Hockey polls entering the weekend. Boston University is 7-2-0. Friday’s game turned on special teams and finishing: MSU outshot the Terriers 35-24, but BU went 2-for-3 on the power play and Mikhail Yegorov made 33 saves. Ryker Lee scored on the power play and Cayden Lindstrom added a goal for the Spartans.

Coach Adam Nightingale pulled freshman goaltender Joshua Ravensbergen midway through the second period, and Sigurdson finished the game. Nightingale told The State News the change was less about Ravensbergen and more “just to give us a jolt there.” Ravensbergen came into the weekend with a .947 save percentage and a 1.62 goals-against average. Neither team had announced a Saturday starter.

Players to watch

Anthony Romani, the Big Ten’s Second Star last week, has 11 points. Gavin O’Connell had the primary assist on both Spartan goals Friday, and freshman defenseman Chase Reid came into the weekend with seven points. For BU, Tynan Lawrence scored again Friday after posting seven goals and three assists in his first eight games, and Carter Amico had two goals in the opener. The series features 35 NHL draft picks, 18 for BU and 17 for MSU, which ties the Spartans’ program record.

How to watch

Puck drop is 4:30 p.m. on B1G+, with radio on WVFN and WDVD HD2. Michigan State opens Big Ten play after this series.
