WCHA Playoffs

The Badgers open the WCHA playoffs on the road tonight, starting their best 2 of 3 series at Colorado College. 

The Badgers beat Colorado College 3-1 last Saturday night, ending a 7-game winless streak.  Wisconsin will need a solid performance in goal from senior Scott Gudmandson.  Badger coach Mike Eaves said Gudmandson got some confidence back after last Saturday’s win.
