The No. 2 Wisconsin Badgers women’s hockey team faces off with their rival No. 5 Minnesota Gophers on home ice this weekend.
The Badgers (26-4 overall, 20-4 WCHA) skate into the series on a 13-game winning streak, their last loss on December 8 to the Gophers (24-5-1 overall, 18-5-1 WCHA) in Minnesota.
Coach Johnson’s squad will need to switch gears following an uncompetitive weekend series in which they outscored Bemidji State 17-0. The competition ramps up with two top-five opponents coming to Madison the next two weekends, beginning with this weekend’s Border Battle.
