He is tied for sixth in the country for scoring among freshman with nine assists and also quarterbacks the Wolverines\u2019 top power play unit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"NDJKSV2NYRDWROY3RIAOCUDZ3M\">In the first period of Saturday\u2019s game, Mews took a hard knee-on-knee hit behind his own net and did not return. Last season, the 6-foot, 180-pound Ottawa native finished third among Ontario Hockey league defensemen with 82 points in 68 games. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"FWLLI7AZKBFBJOSORJBHIWS7N4\">Michigan, which ranks top-five nationally in scoring offense and defense, returns home this week to face Wisconsin on Friday and Saturday. <\/p>\n<p>Ryan Zuke is a sports reporter for MLive.com and covers University of Michigan athletics.
