The No. 2 Wisconsin Badgers are on a 15-game winning streak after sending the No. 5 Minnesota Golden Gophers back to Minneapolis with a couple of losses this weekend, avenging their last regular season loss from back in December and clinching a top-two finish in the WCHA.
Friday night’s game at LaBahn Arena was a scintillating affair that saw both teams hold a lead and exhibit some late heroics. Peyton Hemp got things going for the Gophers (24-7-1 overall, 18-7-1 WCHA) tucking the puck between the pads of redshirt junior goaltender Jane Gervias for the only goal of the first period.
