The Spartans are coming off a season-opening sweep on the road against Lake Superior State, winning the first game 2-1 in overtime before a more convincing 5-1 result the following night. Junior forward Isaac Howard had a five-point weekend with three goals and two assists — good enough to earn him the Big Ten First Star of the Week. His linemate, junior forward Daniel Russell, was the Big Ten Second Star of the Week after scoring two goals and recording two assists against the Lakers.
