The Ohio State men’s hockey team skated to a 1-1 regulation tie, but lost in a shootout to Western Michigan in a Central Collegiate Hockey Association game last night in Value City Arena.

The Buckeyes (12-12-7, 11-7-5-1) took a 1-0 lead 5:57 into the second period when Tyler Lundey picked off a loose puck after Max McCormick’s shot sailed wide and settled in front of the net. Ryan Dzingel also assisted on the play for his team-leading 29th point.

After Matt Stewart tied the score for Western Michigan late in the second, Brady Hjelle stopped all 13 shots in a third period that was dominated by the Broncos, who limited OSU to just three shots.

Hjelle totaled 30 saves; Broncos goalie Frank Slubowski had 18.

Each team had a power-play opportunity in overtime, but managed only one shot. Then the Broncos (18-7-6, 14-5-4-2) scored on two of their final three shootout attempts.
