The #7 Huskies play host to the #4 Fighting Hawks in a matchup of two teams on the top of their game.
The past few weeks in college hockey have seen nearly every team in the midwest undergo significant change, major improvements, and start to hit their stride. The University of Minnesota has taken significant steps forward, with their upperclass leaders stepping up and giving their younger counterparts room to breathe and develop. The Minnesota State Mavericks have similarly put together strong weeks and have hit a rhythm offensively.
The University of Wisconsin has found a better offensive dimension and some defensive stability.
