The No. 16 University of Wisconsin men’s hockey team returned home this weekend and split a two-game series against the Michigan Tech Huskies. In a weekend which saw 16 goals, a combined 97 penalty minutes and countless scuffles after the whistle, the final score of the two games did not tell the whole story.
The Badgers started off the first game hot, scoring a goal three minutes into the game after a Michigan Tech penalty, the beginning of what would be a significant trend for the rest of the weekend. The goal was scored by senior forward Seamus Malone, his second of the year and the fifth power play goal scored by the Badgers on the season.
