It's closest rivals in the league standings, Michigan Tech and Bowling Green, both lost and remained four points behind the Mavericks. That ensures MSU will have at least a two-point advantage going into the final two weeks of the regular season. It could be more than that, of course, depending on what happens tonight.
Michigan Tech went to Bemidji State and lost 3-0, snapping a 10-game unbeaten streak against the Beavers. Goalie Michael Bitzer had a 29-save shutout for the home team, and Brendan Harms scored twice.
Bowling Green went to Alaska and suffered a crushing, 2-1 loss when Taylor Munson scored a short-handed goal with 8.8 seconds remaining in regulation. It was the Nanooks' first win at home since Nov. 6.
Elsewhere in the WCHA, Lake Superior State beat Alaska Anchorage 3-2 in Anchorage, Northern Michigan topped visiting Alabama Huntsville 3-0 and Ferris State fell nonconference foe Michigan 5-2.
