Saturday is setting up to be a big day for the Wisconsin Badgers, as both the men’s and women’s hockey teams will be featured in back-to-back outdoor games at Wrigley Field as part of The Frozen Confines: Big Ten Hockey Series. The college hockey slate this weekend comes on the heels of the NHL’s Winter Classic between the St. Louis Blues and Chicago Blackhawks, played on New Year's Eve.
The Wisconsin women (20-1 overall, 14-1 WCHA) travel to Wrigley riding a seven-game winning streak. The top-ranked Badgers took care of No. 2 Ohio State (13-5-2 overall, 8-5-2 WCHA) on Thursday night in Madison, scoring just one minute into the game and never looking back.
