The Wisconsin Badgers suffered a disappointing 6-5 loss in overtime to the No. 4 Michigan Wolverines on Friday night after leading by a goal with just a minute in regulation left, dropping the first game of a best-of-three Big 10 Tournament quarterfinals series.
Mackie Samoskevich opened up the scoring off passes from Dylan Duke and Seamus Casey, providing the Wolverines with an early 1-0 lead in the second minute of the game.
However, the Badgers responded well, as goals from Sam Stange and Mathieu De St. Phalle changed the momentum in favor of the underdog, with Wisconsin carrying a 2-1 lead through the first period.
