The University of Wisconsin men’s hockey team has without a doubt experienced some trials and tribulations against fierce competition since a home series split against then-No. 6 Penn State in early December. With 12 pivotal conference games remaining in the 2018-19 season, it’s worth looking back at what the team has accomplished over the past six weeks as the Badgers prepare for a push to earn themselves their first postseason bid since 2014.
Dec. 7-8: Michigan State @ Wisconsin (2-0-0)
