STATE COLLEGE \u2014 With two goals scored early in the final period, the No. 2 Michigan hockey team rallied for a comeback attempt. In that fight, the Wolverines were fed a power-play opportunity to push for a tied game as the clock fought against them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rather than Michigan finding the back of the net in those two minutes, No. 5 Penn State answered each shot with a save or clear down the ice. And as the Nittany Lions returned to full strength, another chance slipped through the Wolverines\u2019 fingers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe finally found our game, maybe in the third,\u201d Michigan coach Brandon Naurato. \u201cWe had chances to tie it or win it, and (it) just didn\u2019t go.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the past two weekends, Naurato has continued to search for a solution to the loss<\/a> of freshman forward Henry Mews. Without his steady presence commanding the power play from the blue line, the Wolverines are still trying to grow comfortable as various contenders try out for the spot. Junior forward Jayden Perron is the common answer to these woes creating a five-forward power play that has seen ample time. However, junior defenseman Ben Robertson and sophomore defenseman Dakoda Rh\u00e9aume-Mullen have both seen ice time on the top unit.<\/p>\n
