Following a Nick Leivermann interference penalty, the Wolverines scored with 1:57 remaining in regulation on a power play goal. Adam Fantilli tied the game with a 6-on-4 advantage to force overtime.

After a scoreless overtime gave both teams a tie in the standings, Notre Dame won the extra point with a 1-0 shootout win on a Leivermann goal.

Both teams scored a pair of goals in a five-minute span in the first period. Michigan scored first on a power-play goal 4:18 into the game.
