Michigan State is moving on to the championship game in the the Big Ten Tournament. In front of a sold out Munn Ice Arena, the Spartans knocked off the Ohio State Buckeyes, 2-1, in a semifinal matchup.
The scoring opened with a Daniel Russell goal just 1:23 into the second period, giving MSU a 1-0 lead. Ohio State countered, tying the game up early in the third period, just 2:06 into the period.
It was the captain, Nash Nienhuis, who countered just 13 seconds later, scoring what would be the game winning goal.
Michigan State now awaits the winner of Minnesota v Michigan to see who they will play in the Big Ten Championship game, next Saturday.
