Yahoo Sports

Michael Hage and the Michigan Wolverines won the Big 10 Championship with a 7-3 win over the Ohio State Buckeyes and now await the selection show to know who they'll face in the first round of the national championship later this week.

While the Montreal Canadiens were taking on the New York Islanders in an important game in the playoff race, Michael Hage and his Michigan Wolverines were taking on the Ohio State Buckeyes in the Big 10 Championship game. Just like the Habs, the Wolverines came out on the right side of a 7-3 win. Down 3-2 in the second frame, the Wolverines went on to score five unanswered goals to win the game and the championship.

Hage had a quiet night with a single assist on a Will Horcoff goal in the second frame. T. J.

stole the show with a goal and a pair of assists in the win. The undrafted 24-year-old center is wrapping up his NCAA career, and teams could come knocking for him. He leads all Wolverines players in points this season with 53, two ahead of Hage and has scored four game-winning goals.
