Hockey Badgers drop playoff opener at Michigan

March 3, 2018 By Bill Scott

Wisconsin and Michigan combined to score seven goals in the first period and it’s the Wolverines that prevailed in their Big Ten playoff opener, 6-5.

Wisconsin (14-18-4, 8-13-3-1 Big Ten) outshot the Wolverines (19-13-3, 11-10-3-2 Big Ten) by a 53-29 margin and clawed back from two deficits, but time expired before the Badgers could complete a third comeback in a game marked by momentum swings.

Michigan struck first at the 1:40 mark of the opening period, shortly after a Wisconsin goal was disallowed.  Wisconsin, however, would score three times in a 4:05 span to take a quick lead.  Goals by Tyler Inamoto, Matthew Freytag and Ryan Wagner gave the Badgers a 3-1 lead.  Inamoto’s goal was the first of his career.

Michigan then scored three straight power play goals to take a 4-3 lead into the first intermission.

The Wolverines then struck early in the second period to move in front 5-3, but the Badgers responded with a pair of power play goals from Linus Weissbach and Ryan Wagner to tie the game at five.

Michigan would score the go-ahead and eventual game winning goal at 11:07 in the third period off the stick of Tony Calderone.  It was Calderone’s fourth goal of the game.

Senior goaltender Kyle Hayton stopped 23 shots but took the loss in goal.

The two teams meet again Saturday night (6:30 p.m. CT) in Ann Arbor for the second game of the best-of-three first round series.

The number-15 Wisconsin men’s hockey team got the new year off to a slow start, falling 5-1 to number-14 Penn State on Friday night at Pegula Ice Arena.

The Badgers (10-10-2, 4-6-1-0 Big Ten) allowed a power-play and short-handed goal in the loss.  Penn State (12-7-2, 5-4-2 Big Ten) outshot the Badgers 32-26.

The Nittany Lions took a 2-0 lead by the 9:00 mark of the first period, scoring one of its goals on the man advantage 1:36 into the game.

Penn State, leading 2-0 after one period, scored 11 seconds into the second period and added a fourth goal before Wisconsin made a change in goal.  Kyle Hayton came on in relief of sophomore Jack Berry.

Hayton made 17 saves the rest of the way and didn’t allow a goal.  Penn State would get its fifth goal into an empty net.

Freshman forward Tarek Baker scored the Badgers’ only tally at the 11:54 mark of the final period.

The two teams close out the series at 6 p.m. (CT) on Saturday night.

Four-time Big Ten Champion Minnesota was tabbed the favorite in the 2017-18 Big Ten hockey preseason coaches’ poll, announced on Monday.  The coaches also selected a 17-member Preseason Watch List, including a pair of unanimous honorees.

Last season, Minnesota claimed its fourth consecutive Big Ten Championship with 43 points and a conference record of 14-5-1-0 (23-12-3 overall).  Conference newcomer Notre Dame was selected second in the preseason poll, with Wisconsin capturing third, defending Big Ten Tournament Champion Penn State taking fourth, Ohio State placing fifth, Michigan earning sixth and Michigan State rounding out the poll in seventh.

The Preseason Watch List features 17 standouts due to ties, with a pair of unanimous selections in 2017 Big Ten Player of the Year Tyler Sheehy and Wisconsin’s Trent Frederic.

Wisconsin had two other players on the 17 player watch list.  Forward Cameron Hughes and goaltender Kyle Hayton join Trent Frederic on that list.
