Miami's Savage ends second shortest Playoff OT game: Redskin sophomore Brian Savage scored 1:07 into overtime Saturday to clinch Miami's first ever appearance in the CCHA Championships. The shortest playoff overtime game in CCHA history lasted 0:40 in 1985 as OSU's Bruce Tillotson scored at WMU. Felsner continues scoring barrage: Michigan senior Denny Felsner had seven points (five goals, two assists) in the Wolverines sweep of Ohio State to raise his season totals to 39 goals and 48 assists for 87 points (tops in the nation) in 40 games.
