WATCH: Michigan State Hockey F Isaac Howard Talks Frozen Confines, Trey Augustine, More
EAST LANSING, Mich. -- No. 1 Michigan State continues to prove week after week why it is the best team in the nation, and a large part of that has been due to the play of junior forward Isaac Howard.
Howard has been coming up clutch late in games, helping lead the Spartans to their five-game win streak that has included some close contests.
The veteran leads the team in goals (13), assists (14) and points overall (27).
Howard addressed the media on Tuesday. You can watch below:
Michigan State coach Adam Nightingale also spoke to the media on Tuesday. Below is a transcript from his opening statement:
Nightingale: "It was a fun week of hockey for our team, our fans, our alumni. The home game, it was a heck of an effort to come back and win that game, and then, you look at the -- get a chance at Wrigley, and we got so many alums in the Chicago are. And thought the turnout was great, I thought it was really well run and I thought it was a great hockey game. I thought it was a game that could have went either way, and they're a tough team to play against, well-coached, even within that game, we jumped out to a 2-0 lead, and they tied it, and we have a lead, and they tie it late, and [we] find a way with whatever it was -- 1.4 seconds left. It was a memory our guys will always have, and I think for our fans too, right? For all of them that turned out and showed up at the game. So, that was awesome. And now, we're moving on to Penn State and really tough team to play against in their barn, especially. They carry a hungry hockey team; they also just had a big win on Sunday, and they'll be ready to go."
