Porter added his fourth goal of the weekend in Saturday’s 3-2 squeaker to seal Michigan’s sixth straight victory.
Michigan State has also won six in a row after throttling the Alaska Nanooks in a pair of games at Carlson Center. Tim Kennedy paced the fourth ranked Green and White with three goals and an assist in the road sweep.
