Preview: Perennial powerhouses meet in top two showdown between Badgers and Buckeyes

The toughest test of the early season is here. The nation’s clear-cut top two teams will square off with one another in a rematch of the last two national championship games.

The No. 1 Wisconsin Badgers (12-0 overall, 8-0 WCHA) are riding a twelve-game heater and have only played one game that was remotely close, a game where they overcame a three-goal deficit to beat Minnesota.

No. 2 Ohio State (11-2-2 overall, 6-2-2 WCHA) got their only two losses out of the way in their first two games. The Buckeyes are on a five-game winning streak and unbeaten in their last 13 games.
