Men’s Hockey: Wisconsin splits season-opening weekend in Massachusetts

The No. 17 University of Wisconsin men’s hockey team (1-1-0) had a decent outing this past weekend in Massachusetts, bringing three of a possible six points back to Madison.

The Badgers came up just short in their season opener Friday, losing to No. 6 Boston College (2-0-0) by a score of 5—3. Wisconsin found themselves down 2—1 after the first period and played from behind for the rest of the game.

The Badgers’ offense was led by their young talent, as each of their three goals came from freshmen.

Cole Caufield scored twice in his first regular-season collegiate hockey game, both on the power play.
