Winners of just one of their last six games played, the University of Wisconsin Men’s Hockey team needed to get things going in the positive direction again. After this weekend, they did just that.
It wasn’t easy, but the Badgers (22-6-2, 13-4-1 Big Ten) took care of Notre Dame (14-14-2, 8-10-2 Big Ten) in sweep fashion and became the first Big Ten team to take all four in a season series against the Fighting Irish since they joined the conference in 2017.
In doing so, the Badgers kept the heat on first-place Michigan State, which swept University of Michigan over the weekend, as the teams march towards what could be a series that decides the Big Ten in early March.
