MADISON, Wis. – First-place Michigan State.
John Lethemon, the Spartans' senior goaltender, likes the sound of it.
"It feels great. But we have a lot more work to do,'' he said.
For the second time in seven days, MSU on Friday had an opportunity to climb into first place in the Big Ten. Last Saturday, the Spartans fell short, losing to Minnesota.
On Friday, thanks in a big part by the standout play of Lethemon, they won a game that lifted No. 20 Michigan State into the top spot in the Big Ten standings, one point ahead of Penn State.
Lethemon made 39 saves, defenseman Jerad Rosburg scored two goals and had one assist and the defense was sharp and stingy in a 4-0 victory over Wisconsin at the Kohl Center.
It was Lethemon's fifth shutout of the season, his second against the Badgers in the last three games and the ninth of his career.
"For sure, it feels good. But what matters now is playing the next game,'' Lethemon said.
Rosburg, a fifth-year senior, was excited about being on an MSU team that's in first place, but was also realistic.
"It feels good. It's been a longtime coming since I first got here,'' he said. "We built this up day by day, and while it's still the middle of the season, it feels good to be in first place.
"But we have another game tomorrow. We'll be happy and enjoy it for another hour or two and then dial it back and try to keep it going.''
The Spartans will try to stay in first place and complete a sweep of the Badgers when the teams meet in the series finale at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Kohl Center.
Friday's victory was a lot closer to than the final score would indicate.
Michigan State carried a 1-0 lead into the third period, and stopped any Badgers' comeback hopes by scoring an early goal by Sam Saliba at 1:16 for a 2-0 lead. The Spartans went up by three when Rosburg scored on a power play to make it 3-0 at 12:29. Rosburg scored into an empty net from 120 feet with four minutes left.
MSU (11-9-1 overall) climbed past No. 6/6 Penn State to claim first place by one point. The Spartans have 25 points with an 8-4-1-0 conference record. The Nittany Lions were upset by Michigan, 6-0, on Friday and fell to 8-5-0 with 24 points.
It's the first time Michigan State has been in first in the Big Ten since heading into the final weekend of the 2014-15 regular season.
MSU coach Danton Cole took his team's rise to the top of the conference without a lot of fanfare, but for sure he was pleased with the accomplishment.
"You know what, pretty good. I'm not going to lie to you,'' he said when asked how it feels to be in first place for the first time in his three seasons as MSU coach. "But we didn't talk about it after the game. They'll figure it out.
"There's 11 games to go and a lot of work to be done. If we can keep our mindset, get better and keep grinding and believing in each other, good things will happen. Our group of guys has worked tremendously hard. Not just this year but from when I first got here, through the springs and summers.''
Michigan State finished strong on Friday but it didn't have a good start and had to rely on Lethemon to hold off Wisconsin's early surge in which they outshot the Spartans 12-0 in the first seven minutes of the first period.
"We were on our heels at the beginning. Wisconsin was skating and moving the puck,'' Cole said. "They were kind of getting our forwards separated both ways. Weathering the storm is a good way to put it.
"But John (Lethemon) was strong and we battled back and had some good sticks on pucks and found our bearings.''
The Spartans dominated the second half of the opening period and when the first 20 minutes ended, Wisconsin's shots-on-goal edge was only 14-9 and shot attempts were even closer at 22 for the Badgers and 20 for MSU.
Michigan State took the lead 7:51 into the second period when Rosburg's shot from the left point was deflected by junior co-captain Tommy Apap and found its way past Wisconsin goalie Jack Berry.
"We've been working in practice at pre-scanning the play when the puck is coming up to the point. Gino (Esteves) made a good fake to bring the guy down to open me at the point,'' Rosburg said. "I saw two of our guys at the net. I wasn't shooting to score. I was shooting to get it in there for a tip and that's what happened.''
MSU went up 2-0 at 1:16 of the third period with the teams playing 4-on-4. Sam Saliba's shot from just inside the top of the right circle hit the right post and deflected across the crossbar and into the net.
Midway through the period, Wisconsin's Tarek Baker took advantage of an MSU turnover and skated in on a breakaway. He went in close, and despite being tripped by defenseman Dennis Cesana, he got off a shot that Lethemon made a clutch save.
But Baker was awarded a penalty shot. He skated in close and tried to beat Lethemon to the five-hole but the Spartan goaltender got his stick down to repel the scoring attempt and prevent the Badgers from cutting MSU's lead to 2-1 and gaining momentum.
Michigan State pretty much sealed the victory when Rosburg finished off a nifty passing play among Cesana and Patrick Khodorenko and by going down to his right knee from low in the right circle and one-timing a shot into a wide-open net for a 3-0 lead.
The Badgers pulled goalie Berry for a sixth attacker with four-and-a-half minutes left, and Rosburg completed the scoring with his second goal of the game and fourth of the season with an empty-net goal from inside his own blue line at 15:44.
"I just try to help out anyway I can. That's what I've done since day one,'' said Rosburg, a dominant force all game offensively and defensively, with a goal and two assists and six blocked shots in one of his best games as a Spartan.
"It's great to help out John (Lethemon) back there. He's such a good goalie, a good teammate and a good friend. Any time I can block a shot for him, it's an honor. He made a great penalty-shot save.''
As usual, Cole was full of praise for Lethemon's stellar performance.
"He was calm and didn't get off his angles, he held his ground and his glove was good,'' Cole said. "He's obviously seeing the puck. He was clean. Coaches like games like that.''
So do his teammates and Spartan fans. They've been seeing it all season, and Lethemon is big reason Michigan State has landed in first place.
"I think it goes back to how I've felt all year,'' said Lethemon, a 6-foot-2, 190-pounder from Northville, Mich. "I'm confident so you don't change anything. I was in the zone tonight and things were working for us.
"Give credit to the guys in front of me, keeping them to the outside and limiting quality scoring chances. I just tried to take care of the ones I'm supposed to stop and try to make a couple of big, timely saves, and I think that's what we did tonight.
"We handled their start pretty well. We weathered the storm and I was able to make a couple of saves.''
Actually, Lethemon was able to make several big saves in the first half of the opening period.
The Spartans did an excellent job of containing the Badgers' most dangerous forward line – freshman Alex Turcotte centering high-scoring freshman right wing Cole Caufield and junior left wing Linus Weissbach. They combined for only six shots on goal – three by Weissbach, two by Caufield and one by Turcotte.
Caufield and Turcotte are NHL first-round draft picks, Caufield, a leading contender for Big Ten rookie of the year, came into the game with 13 goals and nine assists to lead Wisconsin with 22 points. He had 72 goals in two seasons with the U.S. National Team Development Program's U-17 and U-18 teams the last two seasons.
"I thought transitionally we did better as the game went along,'' Cole said. "Our defense got (the puck) and turned it up and our forwards did a good job sprinting out and getting to spots.
"Our D-men's sticks were unbelievable tonight. It wasn't just blocked shots but sticks on pucks.''
The Spartans played one of their best third periods with a lead as they took the game to the Badgers, scored goals and limited Wisconsin's shots to the outside.
A close game turned into a runaway as Saliba scored early and Rosburg connected on a power play 12 minutes into the period.
"In a game like that, the second goal is big. Late in the second period, we had some 2-on-1s that we weren't able to convert,'' Cole said. "So, you always hope that doesn't come back to bite you.
"But Sammy (Saliba) came down and got a good shot. But if you look at the (Wisconsin) guys on the other side, two goals are just one shift away. Our power play looked sharp and we finally got one, after giving up the penalty shot.''
The Spartans got some help in the third period when Wisconsin took three straight penalties and MSU didn't give the Badgers a power play.
MSU was 1-for-5 on the power play with five shots on goal. Wisconsin had just one power play – 26 seconds into the game – and had three shots on goal but failed to solve Lethemon.
"We stayed disciplined in the third period and John (Lethemon) was frustrating them a little and they took penalties,'' Rosburg said.
STREAKING VS. THE BADGERS: After losing three games to Wisconsin from January, 2018, to December, 2018, Michigan State has won three straight and is 4-0-1 in the last five meetings.
The Spartans won 4-1 and tied 2-2 at Munn Arena in early February, 2019, and MSU has won three in a row this season – 3-0 and 5-4 in overtime in December at Munn Arena and now Friday in Madison.
Five of the last 10 games between the team have been shutouts – four for the Spartans and one for the Badgers. Lethemon has been in goal for all of MSU's shutouts.
DEFENSE GETS OFFENSIVE: MSU defensemen had a hand in all four goals on Friday with senior Jerad Rosburg leading the way with two goals and one assist.
Rosburg set up the first Spartan goal with a wrist shot from the left point that Apap tipped in for his fifth goal of the season.
Sam Saliba's third period goal was assisted by forward Logan Lambdin and defenseman Butrus Ghafari.
Then Rosburg scored two straight goals with Dennis Cesana assisting on the first, along with center Patrick Khodorenko. Rosburg's empty-netter from inside his own blue line was set up by Khodorenko with Apap drawing the second assist.
Cesana is the team's top-scoring defenseman with four goals and 11 assists for 15 points. He's the third-leading scorer behind Khodorenko (11-14-25) and Mitchell Lewandowski (7-10-17).
Rosburg is second among defensemen with four goals and eight assists for 12 points, which is tied for fifth with Lambdin (5-7-12).
THE BADGERS' VIEW: Wisconsin said it was hurt the inability to get traffic in front of John Lethemon and that made it easy on the MSU senior goaltender.
"We can shoot pucks all we want but if we don't get traffic at the net or at least guys heading down toward the net for rebounds, we could have 80 shots on net and it wouldn't matter,'' Wisconsin junior defenseman Wyatt Kalynuk told the Wisconsin State Journal. "We know they have a good goaltender, but we made it easy on him tonight.''
Wisconsin coach Tony Granato said his team was hampered by the lack of tips, screens and rebounds in front of the net, a recurring theme for the Badgers this season.
"We were one and done. We'd get a chance and we were done. I think it's been a consistent discussion after games,'' Granato told the Wisconsin State Journal. "Their goalie was good. Their goalie was good because he saw all the pucks.''
Wisconsin senior goalie Jack Berry, making only his fourth start this season, made 22 saves and allowed three goals.
The Badgers played without two regular defensemen – sophomore
Ty Emberson and freshman Mike Vorlicky. They sat out with lower-body injuries. Emberson, a third-round NHL draft pick by the Arizona Coyotes in 2018, was one of four Badgers to play for the U.S. National Junior Team in the World Championships in the Czech Republic in late December and early this month.
Emberson and Vorlicky were replaced by sophomore Jesper Peltonen and freshman Shay Donovan. Peltonen played in just fourth game this season and Donovan made his collegiate debut.
IN THE BIG TEN: Michigan sophomore goalie Strauss Mann posted his second shutout in his last three games as the Wolverines routed No. 6/6 Penn State, 6-0, on Friday in University Park, Pa. The Nittany Lions' loss allowed Michigan State to take over first place in the Big Ten with 25 points, one ahead of PSU (16-7-0, 8-5-0).
U-M lead 2-0 after two periods and scored four times in the third period.
Jake Slaker and Johnny Beecher each scored two goals for the Wolverines (10-11-2, 5-7-1 Big Ten), who have won three straight games. Michigan, with 16 points, is tied with Minnesota for fifth place, five points ahead of last-place Wisconsin. The Gophers have played one less game.
Meanwhile, No. 9/9 Ohio State fell behind 3-0 to Notre Dame after two periods in Columbus, but rallied in the period to tie the game 4-4 with two extra-attacker goals within 32 seconds - at 18:23 and 18:55. The overtime was scoreless so the game officially ended in a tie.
In the battle for the extra point in the Big Ten standings, the 3-on-3 overtime was scoreless and Notre Dame won the 6-round shootout, 2-1, to earn two points. The Buckeyes (14-6-3, 7-4-1-0) came away with one point.
The tie dropped OSU into third place with 23 points, one behind Penn State and two in back of MSU and three in front of fourth-place Notre Dame (10-9-4, 5-5-3-2).
Michigan and Penn State and Notre Dame and Ohio State complete their two-game series on Saturday.
Minnesota (8-10-4, 3-5-4-3) played an exhibition game against the U.S. Under-18 team on Friday in Minneapolis and lost 2-1. The Gophers are idle on Saturday.
