Though they couldn’t execute the series sweep over the top-ranked Golden Gophers, the No. 12 University of Wisconsin men’s hockey team (6-6, 6-4 Big Ten) put up a gruesome battle against No. 1 Minnesota (11-1, 9-1) and handed them their first loss of the season in the first of two games last weekend.
The Gophers traveled to Madison Friday only for the Badgers to snap their 10-game win streak. Badger goalie Robbie Beydoun, who returned to the ice for the first time since the December hiatus, ended their first matchup with 35 saves.
“It was a very fun game,” Beydoun said in a post-game press conference.
