The Notre Dame Fighting Irish hockey team returns to Big Ten conference play this weekend with their first home conference series of the season, welcoming the Wisconsin Badgers to South Bend. Notre Dame enters the series ranked #15 in the country and coming off a sweep of the Holy Cross Crusaders. They currently hold a 6-3 record but after a rough weekend in Minnesota two weeks ago are 0-2 in conference play. They’ll be looking to get their first conference wins against a Wisconsin team that sits at 4-6 on the year but are only 1-3 on the road so far.
