Trouba 2 goals (incl. GWG) as Michigan wins Game 1 against #9 Western Michigan 4-3 in a thriller.
Meanwhile, Kasdorf makes 26 saves, but his offense does nothing as Brown beats #16 Renssalaer 3-1 (one empty netter)

UPDATED. Tonight is the Hockey East championship game between UML and BU. Hellebuyck will start again after a 34 save performance last night in a rematch of his epic duel with Flames prospect Jon Gillies and Providence College.
Also tonight: Michigan going at it in the CCHA semifinal against #3 Miami (Ohio, obviously) at the Joe.

Meanwhile, Michigan manhandles the third-ranked Miami RedHawks 6-2, with Trouba and Serville contributing an assist each and will face Notre Dame in tomorrow's CCHA final, the last-ever championship for that conference.

Some nice stats regarding Connor Hellebuyck's MVP performance in the Hockey East Tournament:
-His 0.99 tournament GAA is the third-lowest in conference history. The guys ahead of him? Jimmy Howard (Maine 2004, 0.52) and Cory Schneider (BC 2007, 0.86). The differences? Schneider was a junior and Howard a sophomore on a great Black Bears team. Hellebuyck? A freshman who flat-out stole the starting job.
-His .966 tournament save percentage is fourth-highest in conference history.
-He improves his NCAA win percentage to an astounding .900 (18-2-0).
-His shutout in the final was the fourth in HE tournament history and the first since 2009. The result of that game? BU 1, UML 0. That's irony for ya.
-Something neat about the RiverHawks: After going 2-0 in the Boston portion of the tourney (i.e. the semifinal and the final), they are 7-0-1 this year on Boston soil (the lone blemish being a 4-4 tie earlier this year at Northeastern).
All this courtesy the Hockey East website.

Is Hellebuyck American? Any chance we see him for the US World Junior Team next Christmas?
