The No. 17 Wisconsin men’s hockey team (3-1-0) had an awesome weekend. They swept defending national champion No. 3 Minnesota Duluth (1-3-0), winning 6-2 on Friday night and 3-1 on Saturday night. The Badgers are now ranked No. 6 in the country, moving up a whopping 11 spots in the most recent USCHO.com poll.
While the Badgers offense was clicking, averaging 4.5 goals per game on the weekend, the biggest reason for the sweep was who was between the pipes in cardinal and white.
Daniel Lebedeff, a sophomore from Helsinki, Finland, earned the first star of the week in the B1G.
