Game 1 featured Michigan blowing a 5 minute power play at the end of the game to tie it up by taking a couple of penalties that wiped parts of it out.
Game 2 had Michigan just not doing well at all. Too many turnovers, too many penalties, and just a bad game all around.

Well, Michigan's tournament chances are just about shot, unless they pull off an incredible run in the CCHA tournament and reach the finals. They now sit 7th in the CCHA standings, 2 points behind Alaska and Northern Michigan for the 5th spot. Michigan plays two games against Northern Michigan this weekend at Yost. Tune in on Thursday for a preview of Northern Michigan and an updated Parwise rankings.

Coming off of Michigan's split series sweep against Bowling Green, Michigan travels to Nebraska to take on UNO. UNO currently sits in a tie for 5th place in the CCHA standings with Alaska, with a total of 35 points. Michigan sits in 4th with 37 points, and also has two games in hand against UNO.

UNO is backstopped by John Faulkner and Jeremie Dupont. In their last few games, UNO has used a goalie rotation, so do not be surprised to see both goalies this weekend. Faulkner sports a 2.56 GAA and a .903 Save %, while Dupont sports a 3.14 GAA and a .882 Save %.

Michigan needs to at least split this series, if not sweep it. They are currently ranked 19th in the Parwise Rankings and 19th in RPI. Michigan needs to be ranked at least 15th to be considered a bubble team.*

Tune in on Sunday for a (very brief) recap of both games.
