• Michigan opened its 93rd season on Saturday night at old CCHA rival Ferris State. The Wolverines began the season with a road game for the first time in 13 years, when Michigan opened with the Cold War at Spartan Stadium against Michigan State (T, 3-3) on Oct. 6, 2001.
• Michigan played its 31st season opener with head coach Red Berenson behind the bench on Saturday. The Wolverines fell to 21-6-4 in season-opening games in the Berenson era.

• Michigan freshmen forwards Dexter Dancs and Dylan Larkin and freshman defenseman Zach Werenski made their Michigan debuts tonight at Ferris State. Werenski notched his first collegiate point with a secondary assist on Travis Lynch's third period goal.

• Senior forward Travis Lynch scored his first goal since Dec. 27, 2013, against Western Michigan in the Great Lakes Invitational, snapping a 20-game goal-scoring drought.
