The University of Wisconsin men’s hockey team (4-8, 2-4-1 Big Ten) has now lost three straight games after being swept by the Notre Dame Fighting Irish (8-3, 2-2 Big Ten) at Compton Family Ice Arena in South Bend.
The Badgers were not able to crack the stifling Notre Dame defense and also had trouble on their own defensive end, getting outscored 8-1 in the two games.
Going into the first game of the two-game set on Friday, Notre Dame was still searching for their first conference win of the season. The Badgers were looking to build off back-to-back splits against top five teams.
