Freddy's three thoughts of the game ...
1. Doing it all: Marc Michaelis continued to impress. One night after making two fantastic passes on on power plays, he scored a short-handed goal to help the Mavericks sweep the series. His second-period goal was the only score for most of the game. The shorty was the ninth of his career, tying Bryce Gervais for the record. Lots of season left to get the record outright. Something tells me he's going to do that.
2. Another clean sheet: Dryden McKay was praised all week long with conference weekly and monthly awards and national recognition as well. He just went about his business, stopping 21 shots for his fourth shutout of the season and eighth for his career. Giving up just one goal in the series, his save percentage is now up to .957 and his goals-against average is down to 1.06. Marek Mitens might have had the flashier saves in an outstanding performance for the Lakers, but McKay is as steady as they come.
3. J.J. is dy-no-mite: Jake Jaremko scored MSU's other goal, giving the Mavericks a little insurance with under three minutes remaining in the game. He now has five goals and eight points in seven games. Imagine if he hadn't come down with mono and missed eight games. That's quite the one-two punch MSU has as its top centers, Michaelis and Jaremko. But don't forget about Jared Spooner at the No. 3 center spot, too, who had a three-point weekend.
