This weekend, the Wisconsin men’s hockey team will host their last series of the calendar year. The Badgers (6-7-3, 2-3-3 Big Ten) will host unranked Michigan State Spartans (6-7-1, 2-3-1 Big Ten) in two games at the Kohl Center Friday and Saturday night.
The final home games of 2018 follow a weekend filled with mixed results against another Big Ten rival, Penn State. Last weekend, the Badgers fought hard with Penn State to go into overtime Friday night but lost in a shootout. Saturday, the Badgers bounced back strong and managed to pull off an impressive 8–5 victory over Penn State.
