Last year, the two combined for 38 goals. The Spartans have only been shut out once this season, a 0-0 tie with Ferris State on Dec. 8. And while they rank fourth offensively in the CCHA, averaging 3.26 goals per game overall and 3.07 in league play, they've won five games this season with two goals or fewer. Of course, it helps to have the nation's top defense, which only surrenders 1.37 goals per game. And Mason realizes offense is not what will bring a national championship to East Lansing.
