With Penn State winning at Notre Dame on Saturday, Wisconsin’s chances of securing a home series in the opening round of the Big Ten Conference post-season playoffs went up in smoke.  But that didn’t stop the Badgers from pulling off the two-game sweep of the Wolverines, winning a 4-3 overtime thriller at the Kohl Center.

The Badgers finished the regular season with three straight wins.

Trailing 3-2 in the final minutes, Tony Granato pulled his goaltender and Ty Emberson netted the game tying goal with 1:07 left in regulation.

The Badgers had a goal waved off in overtime after it was ruled they had too many men on the ice.  But a minute later, Linus Weissbach stick handled through traffic and fired a wrist shot from the left side to beat Michigan goaltender Hayden Lavigne and secure a “senior night” win for the Badgers.

Prior to leaving the ice, the Badgers thanked the fans and then helped serenade the crowd to “Varsity”. [Read more…]

The Wisconsin Badger men’s hockey team dominated No. 19 Penn State from start-to-finish on Saturday night at Pegula Ice Arena, knocking off the Nittany Lions, 7-3, to earn a weekend split in its final road series of the regular season.

Looking to bounce back from Friday’s 8-2 loss, the Badgers got off to a quick start with first period goals from sophomore defenseman Josh Ess and freshman winger Jack Gorniak.

The Badgers added three more goals in the second period, including a short-handed tally from sophomore Tarek Baker and a second goal from Ess.

Penn State scored twice to make it a 5-2 game heading to the third period, but senior forwards Matthew Freytag and Seamus Malone notched the Badgers’ sixth and seventh goals of the night to seal a 7-3 victory over the Nittany Lions.

Freshman goaltender Daniel Lebedeff made 38 saves in the win.

Sophomores Josh Ess and Linus Weissbach each tallied three points in the win.  Ess’ two goals marked the defenseman’s first multi-goal performance of his career. [Read more…]

Badgers salvage shooting win in series finale at MSU

February 3, 2019 By Bill Scott

The Wisconsin men’s hockey team, after falling 4-1 at Michigan State on Friday night, recorded a season high 54 shots on Saturday and skated to a 2-2 tie in the series finale against the Spartans on Saturday.  Junior Max Zimmer scored in the sudden-death shootout to give the Badgers the extra point in the Big Ten standings.

Senior forward Will Johnson scored his eighth goal of the season give minutes into the game to give the Badgers a 1-0 lead.

The Spartans evened the game 1-1 early in the second, before Wisconsin sophomore winger Linus Weissbach banged in a loose rebound in the crease past MSU goaltender Drew DeRidder to give the Badgers the lead once again.

Spartans winger Mitchell Lewandowski knotted the game up early in the third frame, and despite several promising chances in front of the MSU net, the Badgers couldn’t secure the game-winner to deny overtime.

Junior goaltender Jack Berry made 31 stops in-goal for the Badgers.

Wisconsin returns to Madison and will host fourth ranked and Big Ten leading Ohio State at the Kohl Center.  Saturday night, the Badgers will honor legendary Badger Mark Johnson by retiring his number 10 during a pregame ceremony.
