After an impressive series sweep against Minnesota, the Wisconsin Badgers men’s hockey team (4-6, 2-2-1 Big Ten) heads to South Bend, Indiana to take on Big Ten rival Notre Dame (6-3, 0-2). The Fighting Irish swept Holy Cross last weekend and looked dominant while doing so. But the 15th ranked Irish have only played two conference games, and they lost both to Minnesota.
After three straight weekends against top five teams, a weekend in South Bend might serve as a bit of a trap for an undermanned Wisconsin team. A step down in competition, however, might also spark what has been a disappointing offense to start the year.
