🔼 Griffins On Ice. No. 8 Michigan State men’s hockey (3-1-0) begins a two-game series with Canisius tonight at Mason Rink at Munn Ice Arena.

The Golden Griffins are 0-2-0 this season, losing a pair of games at Miami (Ohio) last weekend.

Puck drop for both games will be at 7 p.m., and can be streamed on B1G+.

🔼 Fighting The Illini. Michigan State women’s soccer welcomes in Illinois this evening for a Big Ten battle.

The Illini are an even 6-6-3 on the season, but below .500 in conference action at 2-4-2.

It’s an important match for the Spartans, who remain one point out of first place in the Big Ten with two matches remaining in the regular season.
