The first game of the series was just a new chapter in the same book we’ve grown all too accustomed to reading. The Wisconsin Badgers (1-6 overall, 0-3 B1G) went to overtime for the third time in seven games after what was by and large an entertaining hockey game against the No. 19 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (5-2 overall, 1-0 B1G), albeit with another frustrating finish that has defined the Badgers’ season to this point.
Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but Wisconsin outshot Notre Dame 44-24 and still struggled to score.
Despite trailing 1-0 at the end of the first period, the Badgers got busy toward the end of the second.
