The No. 16 University of Wisconsin men’s hockey team (6-6-0, 1-3-0 Big Ten) will play their second straight Big Ten series on the road this weekend against the University of Minnesota (4-6-2, 1-3-2).
The Badgers have remained inconsistent in their play but consistent in their results — they are coming off of their fourth split weekend in six weekends this season. Minnesota will serve as the first non-ranked opponent that Wisconsin has faced since their second game of the year and their first of three matchups in a row against unranked teams.
This weekend may appear as a relief for the Badgers, but the Golden Gophers should not be taken lightly despite their early-season struggles.
