The No. 2 Wisconsin Badgers played host to the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes as both teams closed the book on the regular season. The top-two matchup lived up to the hype as both teams put their 15-game winning streaks on the line and subsequently lost them due to a weekend split.
Wisconsin (29-5 overall, 23-5 WCHA) entered the weekend already locked into the two-seed for the WCHA tournament after Ohio State (29-3 overall, 26-2 WCHA) secured the regular season title with a sweep over St. Thomas the weekend before.
Regardless, the Badgers were swept by Ohio State in Columbus and welcomed the opportunity to get some revenge and leap into postseason play on a high note.
