The No. 6 Wisconsin Badgers men’s hockey team fell only two spots in the USCHO rankings after being swept at last-place Ohio State last weekend.
The Badgers (22-8-2 overall, 13-6-1 B1G) passed up a golden opportunity to take sole ownership of first place in the conference by allowing the Buckeyes to triple their B1G win total on the year.
Wisconsin trails Michigan State by five points in their quest for a B1G regular season title and get the conference leaders at home in next weekend’s season finale. The Spartans host last-place Ohio State in their penultimate series, and barring a Buckeye sweep the Badgers will need to win out to overtake Michigan State.
