Michigan vs. Denver was so close that it needed overtime. But in the end, the better team won on Thursday: Denver took down Michigan, 3-2. 

Bobby Brink had the puck in the corner of the Michigan zone. He found teammate Carter Savoie open in front of the net.

His first shot was stopped. The second was not. 

Denver got the scoring started in the first period when Brett Stapley roofed one over Michigan goalie Erik Portillo to make it 1-0. 

Michigan’s offense struggled early on, but found itself early in the second period when Jimmy Lambert converted on a chance from right in front of the Denver net to tie the game, 1-1. 

In the third period, both squads traded lamplighters. First it was Cameron Wright tipping one past Portillo to make it 2-1. But then, just a few moments later, Thomas Bordeleau knotted up the score, 2-2. 

With the win, Denver will play the winner of Minnesota vs. Minnesota State on Saturday for the national championship.

With Michigan-Denver headed to OT, the game has been moved to ESPNU. 

Minnesota-Minnesota State will also be played on ESPNU. Puck drop is slated for 8:30 p.m. ET. 

Denver and Michigan will need overtime in this first Frozen Four semifinal. 

Denver leads in shots, 26-13.

Well, that didn't take long. 

Just a few moments after Denver took the 2-1 lead, Michigan came right back and tied the score, 2-2. 

Off a mad scramble in front of the Denver net, Thomas Bordeleau batted the puck out of the air and past Denver goalie Magnus Chrona to make it 2-2. 

The game is tied, 2-2, with 10:51 to play in the third period.

Denver's Cameron Wright gave the Pioneers the lead shortly into the third period. 

Defenseman Mike Benning ripped a shot from the point and Wright was in the perfect place, tipping it past Michigan goalie Erik Portillo. 

Denver leads, 2-1, with 14:24 to play in the third period. 

Denver and Michigan are tied, 1-1, after two periods. 

The lone goal of the period came when Michigan’s fourth trio went to work. 

Nolan Moyle drove the puck to the net and it was stopped by Denver netminder Magnus Chrona. But Garrett Van Wyhe picked it up and passed it behind the net to Moyle.

That was when Moyle hit Jimmy Lambert with a pass in front of the net. He converted to tie it, 1-1. 

That was the only puck that found the back of the net of the period. So much for the high-scoring game we thought we were going to get between Denver and Michigan. 

Denver leads in shots, 16-9, after two periods.

Michigan wasted no time tying the game early in the second period, as its fourth line went to work. 

After a great drive to the Denver net, Nolan Moyle recovered and dished it out to a wide open Jimmy Lambert in front for the goal. Garrett Van Wyhe also registered an assist. 

The game is now tied, 1-1, with 15:57 to play in the second period.

Denver leads Michigan, 1-0, after one period. 

The one goal came off the stick of Brett Stapley. He picked up a rebound from teammate Justin Lee’s shot and roofed it over Michigan goalie Erik Portillo with 8:38 to play in the frame. 

Both teams took some time to get used to the game. Michigan didn’t get its first shot to the Denver net until about 4 minutes remained in the period. 

Denver leads in shots as well, 7-4.
