NOTES TO KNOW:
• Michigan State defeated then No. 8-ranked North Dakota in the 2026 U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame Game in Austin, Texas last Saturday. The Fighting Hawks tied the game at 3-3 in the third period, but Cayden Lindstrom responded just 19 seconds later, converting off a rebound. Lindstrom's two goals this season have both been game-winners.
• Anthony Romani posted two goals against North Dakota, earning B1G Second Star of the Week and Player of the Game honors. The sophomore winger has paced the Spartans offensively with 10 (7g-3a) points in six games, netting a goal in all but one contest. Romani is second in the nation in goals per game (1.17) and ranks 12th nationally in points per game (1.67).
• Anthony Romani has scored seven goals in Michigan State's first six games, marking the most goals by a Spartan through the first six games of a season since Jim Slater scored seven to kick off the 2003-04 season.
• Joshua Ravensbergen continued his strong start to the season, making 32 saves on 35 shots faced (.914 SV%) and allowing one even strength goal against NoDak. The freshman goaltender ranks ninth nationally with a .947 SV% and is 15th in goals-against average (1.62). Ravensbergen leads all freshmen starting netminders nationally in save percentage.
• With a win over North Dakota last Saturday, Head Coach Adam Nightingale reached the 100 career win milestone in his 156th game behind the bench, surpassing the legendary Ron Mason (182 games) to become the quickest head coach in program history to reach 100 victories. Nightingale owns a career record of 100-45-11 overall with a .676 winning percentage.
• Freshman defenseman Chase Reid (1g-6a-7p in six games) is one of just 10 defensemen in the country averaging over a point per game.
• MSU is ranked No. 3 in both the USCHO and USA Hockey polls, up one spot from No. 4 in both polls last week. The Spartans have been ranked in the Top 5 each week of the season thus far.
• Michigan State's series against Boston University this weekend will feature the most NHL draft picks in college hockey this season with a combined 35 selections between the two teams. BU leads the country with 18 draft picks. Michigan State has the second-most NHL draft selections on its roster in the NCAA this season with 17. MSU's nine first round picks are the most of any NCAA team this season. There are 30 first round NHL selections playing college hockey in 2026-27, with MSU rostering 30% of them.
• 17 NHL Draft picks are tied for the most all-time at MSU with the 1990-91 season being the last time the Spartans boasted 17 selections. The 1990-91 team featured three first round selections (Jason Muzzatti, Bryan Smolinski and Michael Stewart).
