The attacker has recorded three hat tricks and has four multi-goal games through the first nine games of the season, with a career-best five goals on two occasions. Shannehan leads Michigan with his seven assists and has two games with two helpers.
Rodriguez leads the Michigan faceoff with 60 wins and has a .508 faceoff percentage. He also has a team-high 34 ground balls and has scored two goals and one assist.
Udell has shown his offensive prowess in the last two games, recording his first career hat trick against No. 12 Johns Hopkins. The freshman attacker also scored a goal against No. 1 Notre Dame and had two points at No. 17 Denver.
• Roode leads the Michigan offense with 28 points (23 goals, five assists). He has scored at least two goals in all but two games and recorded a hat trick in the first five games this season. Roode has a .771 shots-on-goal percentage, with 37 of his 48 shots reaching the cage.
• U-M held the high-powered Fighting Irish offense to seven goals below its season average of 16, giving up just nine goals.

Taylor made 10 saves in the first half, including seven in the second quarter to keep Michigan within striking distance in the first half.
