The 2019-20 season is over for Michigan State and Alaska (Fairbanks) men's hockey.
MSU bowed out Saturday evening with a second straight 3-0 loss at arch-rival Michigan in their best-of-three Big Ten quarterfinal series. The Spartans finish the season at 15-19-2 overall. Senior goaltender John Lethemon finished his Spartan career with 33 wins, a 2.79 goals-against average, a .911 save percentage and nine shutouts.
Alaska fought back from several deficits at the Carlson Center but fell, 3-2, to visiting Bowling Green on Saturday in the second game of their best-of-three WCHA preliminary round series. The Nanooks end the campaign at 16-15-5, while Alaska senior netminder Anton Martinsson concluded his NCAA career with 26 victories (2.81, .906, 5 SO).
Princeton had four wins overall the entire winter prior to its ECAC Hockey series at Dartmouth this weekend. The Tigers now have six wins, following their second straight overtime victory to oust the Big Green and move on to next week's quarterfinal series against top-seeded Cornell. Mark Paolini notched the game-winner halfway through the extra session, after Dartmouth scored three straight times in the final nine minutes of regulation to force OT. Jeremie Forget made 46 saves in all for the Tigers (6-20-5).
Fourth-ranked Boston College finished its regular season with a 3-3 tie at New Hampshire on Saturday. Aapeli Räsänen scored the game-tying goal late in the third period, while Spencer Knight made 47 stops for the Eagles. BC (24-8-2) will now host No. 18 Providence in a best-of-three Hockey East quarterfinal series next weekend at Conte Forum.
