ANCHORAGE, AK — The Wolverines punched their ticket to the postseason with a 3–1 win over the Wisconsin Windigo at the Sullivan Arena.
Oliver Morris set the tone early, circling behind the net and burying a highlight-reel Michigan goal to give Anchorage momentum right out of the gate.
Chase Trompeter extended the lead late in the first period, capitalizing on a rebound and slipping it past the netminder on the far side to make it 2–0.
On the power play, Duke Gentzler added to the advantage after a shot from Rylan Bydal found its way to his stick, tipping it in for the Wolverines’ third goal of the night.
Wisconsin spoiled Kai Weigel’s shutout bid with a power-play goal in the final two minutes, but it wasn’t enough to slow Anchorage down.
The win marks the Wolverines’ seventh straight and moves them into a tie for second place in the Midwest Division, surpassing the Fairbanks Ice Dogs and securing their third consecutive playoff berth.
