Wisconsin men’s hockey received a much-needed boost this past weekend, which has head coach Mike Eaves optimistic and eying a redemption in the Badgers’ regular season finale this weekend against Minnesota.
Coming off their first Big Ten win since Dec. 12, a 4-3 victory over No. 14 Penn State Saturday, the Badgers will face the Gophers for the first time since losing 9-2 at home to their border foe back in January.
Many games during that winless span saw Wisconsin fall by close margins — most recently a 6-5 loss at Ohio State Feb. 27.
