you. lk to be able to put your best
foot -orward," Berenson said. "I
know on paper we won't be able to,
but on the ice our team has to
respond.
"We've got four regular players
out of our lineup, and that's the
weakest I can remember our team
going into a game."
With Muckalt and Botterill out,
center John Madden's line will be the
first line. Senior center Brendan
Morrison, the remaining member of
his line, will move down one and
play between Matt Herr and Sean
Ritchlin.
"I haven't been playing up to my,
expectations so far this year,"
Morrison said. "It's an opportunity
for me to get back into the groove a
bit, and for the younger guys too."
Michigan will dress seven
defensemen tonight, including Chris
Fox, who may also see time at for-
ward on a fourth line with freshman
Andrew Merrick. Sophomore Craig
Assenmacher or freshman walk-on
Krikor Arman could complete the
line.
In 'the first game, against the
Spartans, it was the Michigan
defense that struggled to clear the
puck out of its zone, including the
moment right before the Spartans
scord.the winning goal.
"tknow we're going to have to
dlay -',well defensively, period,"
Perenson said. "We give up five
goals at Michigan State with
Botterill and Muckalt. We can't give
their the two-on-ones and odd-num-
bered. rushes we gave them (last
time)."
Tomorrow, things could get ugly
fast between the Wolverines and
Falcons. While Berenson showed his
players film this week that showed
Crozier's injury was a result of a
clean hit by Faulkner, there were
other plays that caused tempers to
flare.
"It all started when I got speared
in the front of the neck," Muckalt
said after the game. "Just an
absolutely gutless play. I'm not
gonna knock the (officiating), but
you can't let the game get out of
hand like that."
CCHA coordinator of officials
Dave Fisher said last weekend's
events will not affect the officiating
tomorrow night.
"Whatever happens (tomorrow)
night happens on its own," Fisher
said. "You referee the game at hand,
not the one that happened again."
As for who the officials will be,
teams do not find out until game-
time Fisher said. Roger Graff was
the referee in Saturday's game.
Before the third-period melee, the
Falcons stayed with the Wolverines
throughout the first two periods
which ended in a 1-1 tie. Warren
Luhning knocked in the game-win-
ner with just under eight minutes left
in the third period. Four minutes
later, Botterill scored to secure the
victory for the Wolverines.
The Falcons have lost four straight
in the CCHA after raising already
high expectations with victories in
their first two conference games.
"We're going out there with the
mindset that we're going to be disci-
plined. That happened in the past,
and it's pretty much done with now,"
Morrison said. "But if there's a
chance to put a good, clean check on
someone, then obviously we'll take
advantage of that."

WARREN ZINN/Daily
The Wolverines were not shocked by last weekend's physical play, but they will be without three players tonight due to game
disqualifications handed out Saturday against Bowling Green. The Wolverines will also be without the services of Greg Crozier,
who will miss eight to 12 weeks with a fractured radius and ulna in his left forearm.
