But it was hard to tell whether it was the hockey team or just a few tipsy trick-or-treaters. Whoever it was, they were no match for Northern Michigan (3-1 CCHA, 7-1 overall), as the Wildcats blew out the Wolverines, 6-1, in Michigan's worst home loss since January 7, 1989. "It's Halloween," Michigan defense- man Bubba Berenzweig said. "Weird stuff happens out there." The goblins were out in full force against the Wolverines (4-1, 5-2) on Saturday. The most eerie example of spooky happenings took place in the third peri- od, when Northern's Kevin Schmidt cleared the puck out of his zone for a line change during a power play. The puck hit the side boards and took a funny bounce after traveling the length of the ice. It slid into the goal past Michigan goaltender Kevin O'Malley, who dove for the puck after misreading the bounce. "I felt I did OK except for the bounce," O'Malley said. "It was just one of those weirdthings that happens." O'Malley's presence in the game was also unexpected, as Michigan's starting goalie, Josh Blackburn, was pulled in the second period after giving up four goals in a 10-minute span. "Blackburn will be the first to admit that two or three of those goals were preventable," Michigan coach Red Berenson said. "There's no question that the second period was our undo- ing" Another weird thing happened on Saturday. The Wolverines couldn't gen- erate many shots. Michigan, which had registered at least 30 shots in all of its games coming into this weekend, man- aged just 14 overall and five in the first two periods. "We had plenty of offensive oppor- tunites, but the shots weren't getting through," Berenson said. "Northern played really well and really hard." The Wolverines did make the most of their only shot in the first period Saturday. Josh Langfeld scored his sec- ond goal of the season from a Mike Comrie feed. That goal gave the Wolverines false confidence, however, as Northern ruled the rest of the game. "We got into one of our lulls and the puck bounced their way during those lulls," Berenzweig said. "I think we felt a little too comfortable with a one-goal lead." The Wolverines also got comfort from Friday night's game, a 5-2 victory over Bowling Green. Although the Falcons gave Blackburn a lot more action than he's used to with 34 shots, Blackburn proved to be up to the task, turning away 32 of those shots. "It's a lot easier to get into a groove," Blackburn said on the increase in shots. "You are never sitting there for too long and it's easier to stay focused." Despite Blackburn's enjoyment of the increased action, Berenson was dis- tressed about the number of chances the KELLY MCKINNELL/Daily Josh Langfeld scored Michigan's only goal on Saturday night, but was busy on Friday night as well. He spent four minutes in the penalty box against the Falcons. Falcons had against him. "We gave up too many chances and left the defense outnumbered," Berenson said. "I know the fog is com- ing in tonight, but a lot of us seemed to be in a fog tonight." Michigan made good on its 20 shots, beating Savard four times and scoring an empty-net goal with 22 sec- onds left in the game. Comrie scored two of the goals, his fourth and fifth of the season, to take the team goal-scoring lead. Comrie's goals were the product of great passes. In both instances, Comrie was fed the puck in point-blank range, and both times he deposited it. "Both passes were great passes, Comrie said.,"We came out ready (Friday) and we wanted it the wholO night." Mike Van Ryn and Dale Rominski also wanted something Friday night - the goal-scoring lead. Tied with Comrie at the beginning of the night with three goals, Van Ryn and Rominski both added their fourth. Van Ryn started out the scoring in the second period when he beat Savard with a stickside slapshot over Savard's right shoulder. The goal, Van Ryn's fourth, equaled his output from all la9 season. Rominski added his goal in the third period.

Late in the third period of Friday's 5-2 victory over Bowling Green, Huntzicker was set to level a booming check on Bowling Green's Dan Price. But rather than the well-built Huntzicker winning the physical bat- tle, as he usually-------------- does, Price came Hock out on top, knock- ing the Michigan Notebook defenseman down-------------- and separating his shoulder. "I had a pretty good opportunity, so I was stepping up to hit him," Huntzicker said. "We went shoulder to shoulder, and I got banged up pret- ty bad." The sophomore's absence left Michigan coach Red Berenson with only seven defensemen who were able to dress Saturday, instead of his usual nine. Sean Peach's recurring bout with "lace bite" made him unavailable to fill the role. Sophomore Bob Gassoff stepped in to fill Huntzicker's void on Saturday against Northern Michigan, teaming up with freshman Jeff Jillson. The separated shoulder puts an abrupt halt to what had been a hot start for Huntzicker. After tallying just eight points last season, the former walk-on found his passing touch early in 1998, notching three assists to go with an impressive plus-5 rating.. Huntzicker will likely be benched for three weeks, if his rehabilitation with athletic trainer Rick Bancroft goes as planned. Because Michigan doesn't play again until Nov. 13 - at home against Alaska-Fairbanks and at Notre Dame the following night - there is a good possibility that Huntzicker will return to the lineup for the all-important clash with Michigan State on Nov. 20. "I guess if you're going to get hurt, this is the week to do it," Huntzicker said. "I'll get plenty of rest, and I'll do my best to get back as quickly as possible." PUNCHLESS POWER PLAY: Berenson and the Wolverines are the first to admit that the power play has- n't been clicking. But after an 0-11 showing with the extra man agains Northern Michigan, dropping its per centage to 10.8 percent, it's safe to say the power-play unit is in a bona fide slump. Despite controlling the game and owning a big lead, the Wildcats con- tinued to take foolish penalties, as if they were inviting Michigan back in the game. Even with the numerous opportu- nities, the Wolverines couldn't con- vert. The lack of a successful attac on the power play has had a down- ward spiral effect. Defensemen at the point have hes- itated to shoot the puck, instead opt- ing to look for the perfect pass. Northern Michigan cut off the Wolverines' passing lanes with its aggressive penalty-killing style, and most of the time, Michigan couldn't even set up in the offensive zone. "The power play has to be a fa tor," Berenson said. "If we get that many opportunities, we've got to bes able to generate some goals on the power play."
