The University of Wisconsin men’s hockey team (6-7-3, 2-3-3-1 Big Ten) hosted No. 6 Penn State (10-4-1, 2-3-1-1 Big Ten) and their high-powered offense for a two-game series this past weekend.
Hosting a team that entered the weekend with the nation’s highest-scoring offense and sported the nation’s two leading goal scorers, the question was not whether Wisconsin would suddenly be able to quell the Nittany Lions’ offensive attack, but whether Wisconsin could find an offense of its own.
Coming into Friday’s affair, the Badgers had scored a total of four goals in their previous four games, a road stretch that featured two losses in Columbus to The Ohio State and two ties in Ann Arbor to Michigan.
