Despite a loss and a tie between Wisconsin men’s hockey (6-13-7 overall, 1-8-3 Big Ten) and No. 6 ranked Michigan (18-4-5, 9-2-3) this past weekend, head coach Mike Eaves said his team is headed in the right direction.
“We’re not where we want to be but we’re forging to that point,” Eaves said.
A 4-1 loss Friday night and a 4-4 tie, which ended in a shootout loss Saturday night, dampened the Badgers’ spirits during an already disappointing season. Close losses have been a continual theme this season, forcing Eaves to repeatedly discuss how close his team is to improvement.
