PHOTOS: NTDP Under-18 Team vs. Michigan State

 

The USA Hockey National Team Development Program Under-18 Team traveled to Michigan State for a Friday evening battle with former NTDP coach Danton Cole and the Spartans. In a close contest, Gianluca Esteves broke a 1-1 tie at the 16:48 mark of the third period on a breakaway goal for MSU. Patrick Khodorenko, one of four NTDP alums dressed for the Spartans, also scored, while former Team USA netminder Drew DeRidder started the contest and split the game with John Lethemon. The duo teamed up for 27 saves, allowing only a power-play goal to Matthew Beniers early in the second period. (Photos by Michael Caples/MiHockey)
