For the sixth and final time of the season Minnesota took to the ice against Wisconsin. This time it was during the NCAA national tournament quarterfinals held at LaBahn Arena in Madison and while the Gophers were still riding high on their WCHA championship over the Badgers, they knew they were facing their toughest opponent of the season in what was both teams’ only shot for the 2018 Frozen Four.
Despite being so familiar with each other and last playing less than a week ago it was a slow start to the game with a lot of back and forth across the ice.
