The Spartans were swept at the College Hockey Showcase, losing to both Minnesota and Wisconsin last weekend at the annual Thanksgiving weekend event.
Michigan State got a three-point night from Justin Abdelkader (goal, two assists) and a pair of goals from Tim Kennedy, but fell to top-ranked Minnesota, 5-4, in the opening game Friday night in Minneapolis.
Mike Ratchuk (pictured) also scored and Jeff Lerg finished with 28 saves.
Saturday night, MSU was blanked, 2-0, by sophomore Wisconsin goalie Shane Connelly in Madison.
Lerg made 25 saves for the Spartans (6-6-1, 4-4-1 CCHA), who were shut out for the first time since Feb. 12, 2005 at Alaska-Fairbanks (1-0) and now have a three-game losing streak for the first time since Nov. 11-15, 2005.
The Spartans get a home series on the slate this weekend in hosting Ohio State at Munn Ice Arena.
