Second Period Update: NMU has left the building

After two periods, the Wildcats and Wolverines are tied at a goal apiece.

The Wolverine goal came from senior captain Kevin Porter during a 5-on-3 advantage. Stewart made the initial save, but Porter fired the rebound past the sprawling tender.

Michigan controlled the pace of play all period long, out-shooting the Wildcats, 9-2. Both of NMU's shots came from beyond the top of the circle.

Also working against the 'Cats in the period were six penalties. They spent nearly half of the period killing penalties and, until the 5-on-3 kicked in, did a fine job.

Shots after two: NMU 9, MICH 16
Power-play: NMU 0-2, MICH 1-7
Score: NMU 1, MICH 1
