===Midwest Regional – Fort Wayne, Indiana=== Regional Semifinals Regional Final The regional final between Michigan and Miami was not without controversy. In the first overtime, Michigan appeared to score what would have been the game-winning goal when Kevin Lynch scored on a rebound in a scrum in front of the Miami net. However, after a video review, the goal was disallowed as the play had been whistled dead before the goal was scored to assess a Miami penalty. NCAA Director of Officials Steve Piotrowski clarified that officials blew the whistle as Lynch touched the puck, with a Miami player touching the puck in the crease and the puck briefly stopped underneath Miami goalie Connor Knapp, both occurring before the goal. The game continued until Miami sophomore Alden Hirschfeld scored 1:54 into double overtime, securing the 3-2 RedHawk victory. ===East Regional – Albany, New York=== Regional Semifinals Regional Final ===West Regional – St. Paul, Minnesota=== Regional Semifinals Regional Final ===Northeast Regional – Worcester, Massachusetts=== Regional Semifinals Regional Final ===Frozen Four – Detroit, Michigan=== National Semifinals National Championship ==Record by conference==
