Senior forward Brock Caufield took the puck as he wheeled into his own zone.
He gathered, circled and skated through the neutral zone and directly in-between two Yale defenders. A power crossover step with his right skate had him going directly into the body of a Bulldog. As the defender closed, he quickly moved the puck to his forehand, where he sniped a shot through the legs of the backchecker, and over the right blocker of Yale’s Nathan Reid.
For the first time since the previous season’s Big Ten Tournament, the Wisconsin Badgers men’s hockey team was 60 minutes away from a trophy.
