• Petan won the WCHA scoring title after finishing the regular season with 29 points on 16 goals and 13 assists. Petan earned the scoring crown just one season after Hancock's Tanner Kero claimed the honor. Prior to Kero's scoring title, the last Husky to accomplish that feat was Shawn Harrison in 1988-89.
• Pearson has led the Huskies to back-to-back 20-win seasons, the first Michigan Tech coach to hit the 20-win mark in back-to-back years since John MacInnes. Pearson enters the weekend with 93 career victories, good for second all-time among Tech head coaches.
• Phillips, who already boasts the program's all-time shutout record with 10 (and counting), sits just three wins away from tying the career wins record at Michigan Tech. Phillips' 55 victories are second all-time to Bruce Horsch, who earned 58 wins from 1974-78.

On the flip side, the Huskies have struggled to win hockey games when its opponent buries three or more times (3-8-2 this season).
