No. 1 overall seed Michigan faces Denver in the second of two Frozen Four matchups on Thursday evening in Las Vegas, with the Wolverines and Pioneers facing off after the opener between fellow No. 1 seed North Dakota and a Big Ten foe, Wisconsin.
Michigan is seeking its first national title since 1997, and the first for the Big Ten since MSU won the national championship in 2007.
To do so, Michigan will need to get past a Denver team that won its conference tournament and dominated Western Michigan in a regional final en route to this stage of the NCAA men's ice hockey tournament. Denver goalie Johnny Hicks has been electric since taking over the starting job, and is undefeated in the dozen-plus games he's started down the stretch run.
Michigan brings one of the best offenses in the sport, though, and has a special teams unit on the power play that can carry the Wolverines to a national title.
