I’ve cut up a clip of the Michaelis injury from last night. Still hard to see what happens, but it looks like his own teammate collects him while sliding. @puckato youtu.be/xMUKC--DKvM

Lines for tonight. Only substitution for BG is Daly is out in favor of Dalton. Michaelis and Sandelin are out of the lineup for Mankato. Van Os-Shaw and Carroll enter in their place.

Michaelis is in the stands watching warmups. He’s holding crutches but we can’t tell if he’s wearing a walking boot today.

In BG injury news it sounds like Letourneau should be available in couple weeks at Bemidji as he works through protocol.

Falcons wearing their alternate orange sweaters tonight with brown buckets and pants.
Mavs wearing their all-purple set again tonight.

When heading to the locker room after warmups we could see Michaelis heading down. He’s not wearing a boot tonight but was limping pretty badly.
We promise this will be the last injury tweet.

Only if you agree to never wear that hat in this building again.
@Buccigross #3 @MavHockey at #16 @BGSUHockeySite if BG wins you send a fellow Berg/WHEI alum a BG snapback, Mavs win I'll send you a @ToledoWalleye lid #GoBerg
