The Wisconsin men’s hockey team closes out its eight game home stretch this weekend with an in-conference series against the Michigan State Spartans, serving as Wisconsin’s second to last series in Kohl Center this season.
The Badgers (6-13-7, 1-8-3 Big Ten) are bouncing back from two tough losses against No. 6 ranked Michigan. The games finished at 4-1 and 4-4, the second with an overtime shootout. Wisconsin still sits in last place in the Big Ten, seven points behind Michigan State, and the Spartans are the only Big Ten team the Badgers have beaten.
A win this weekend is crucial for Wisconsin if they hope to escape finishing last in conference for the second straight season.
