This week, the Spartans face their toughest foe yet, when the North Dakota Fighting Hawks come to Munn this Friday and Sunday. But before that, Michigan Sate must find a way to clean up the nine goals it allowed against No. 19 Michigan Tech last weekend.

On this episode of Behind the Mask, our hosts Jason Ruff and Jacob Herbert break down what went wrong for the Spartans and why the defense may now be a weakness for MSU this year rather than a strength.

The Big Ten had mixed success last weekend and our hosts check in with the other teams on Around the Boards.

Also, Jason takes us through the women’s club hockey team and recruiting updates while Jacob previews Michigan State’s next series.
