Familiar foes meet at the Kohl Center for the 312th and 313th time when the puck drops for this weekend’s Border Battle. The Badgers come into the game looking to ride some of the momentum built last week in South Bend and stop their rival’s six-game winning streak.
The Wisconsin Badgers (2-6 overall, 1-3 B1G) technically enter the series in second place, having played four B1G games so far while everyone else has either played two or none at all. Despite the slow start, last week’s split with Notre Dame provides hope that they can right the ship over the remainder of the season.
