It’s going to be quite a weekend for hockey teams from Columbus. The Columbus Blue Jackets are retiring Rick Nash’s number at tonight’s game against the Boston Bruins at Nationwide Arena, while a couple miles away, Ohio State’s men’s hockey team will be hosting Penn State in the second game of their Big Ten Tournament series. But, the most interesting game on Saturday will take place in Minneapolis, as the Ohio State women’s hockey team will take on Wisconsin in the WCHA Final Faceoff semifinal at Ridder Arena.
The Buckeyes and Badgers have played four games this year, with Wisconsin winning two games in Madison in October, while Ohio State took the two games in Columbus in February.
