The University of Wisconsin men’s hockey team (6-13-3, 3-8-1-1 Big Ten) will play host to conference foe Michigan State (11-10-1, 5-7-0-1 Big Ten) this weekend at the Kohl Center in Madison. The Badgers were swept by the Spartans in their previous series in East Lansing.
Wisconsin is coming in off of a disappointing series against Ohio State last weekend. The Badgers led late in both games, but unfortunately dropped Saturday night’s game off of three Buckeye third-period goals. On Sunday, it was more of the same.
After Jesper Peltonen scored the first goal of his Wisconsin career to give the Badgers a late lead, Ohio State quickly tied the game and ended up winning in a shootout.
