Detroit Red Wings prize prospect Trey Augustine was in goal for Michigan State Saturday when it squandered a two-goal lead late in regulation and lost 4-3 in overtime to Wisconsin in an NCAA regional final. <\/p>\n
This was a Michigan State group that had high hopes of reaching the Frozen Four. <\/p>\n
Wisconsin scored two goals in 34 seconds to tie the game 3-3 and then won it 24 seconds into overtime on a shot from near the blue line that took a strange bounce into the net behind Augustine<\/p>\n
Augustine turned down the opportunity to turn pro last spring to make another run at a national championship. The Red Wings are expecting Augustine will now turn pro and probably play minor league games this spring. TSN\u2019s Craig Button recently named Augustine the No. 5-ranked NHL-affiliated prospect.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s such a gutting loss and collapse for Michigan State. As is allowing 2 goals in :35 just to force OT. Bummed for Adam Nightingale and that program. <\/p>\n
Have had some uber talented teams and just cannot reach a Frozen 4 yet.
