The Wisconsin Badgers men’s hockey team had a big first weekend of the season. They went on the road and swept No. 20 Notre Dame (0-2-0-0), 3-0 on Friday night and 5-3 on Saturday night. The undefeated Badgers (2-0-0-0) moved back into the USCHO.com rankings for the first time since early last season and are now the No. 14 team in the nation.
Most teams haven’t opened their seasons yet, so the top-five of North Dakota, Boston College, Minnesota-Duluth, Denver and Minnesota State remain unchanged, but fellow Big Ten member Michigan waxed Arizona State this past weekend and moved up to No.
