Badgers add goaltender for upcoming season

By

The Wisconsin Badger men’s hockey team has added a veteran goaltender for the upcoming 2020-21 season.

After three seasons at Michigan Tech, graduate transfer Robbie Beydoun comes to Madison to compete for playing time in the Badgers net.

In 28 career games with the Huskies, Beydoun posted a 10-11-2 record with a 2.28 goals-against average, a .919 save percentage and three shutouts.  Last season, Beydoun went 2-2-0 in net with a 2.32 goals-against average and .919 save percentage.

As a sophomore, Beydoun led Michigan Tech with a 1.98 goals-against average, a .931 save percentage and a pair of shutouts, including one against then-No. 10 Bowling Green.

Prior to college, Beydoun played in the USHL for Waterloo and Fargo.  He was a 2017 Third-Team USHL All-Star for Waterloo, ranking third in the league with a 2.22 goals-against average and sixth with 24 victories and a .919 save percentage.

 

Badgers tie Michigan Tech 3-3

By

The Wisconsin Badger hockey team tied the Michigan Tech Huskies 3-3 in a game that saw over 60 shots on goal.

The Badgers (2-7-5, 2-5-5 WCHA) had 37 shots on goal, and scored two goals in the first period.  Junior forward Tyler Barnes opened the Badger scoring at the 6:29 mark, and was followed by sophomore forward Brendan Woods at the 8:56 mark in the first period.

Michigan Tech was able to respond to the Badger’s first goal in the opening period with a score from Malcolm Gould at the 7:43 mark.

The second period saw a 2-1 Badger advantage, and was increased to 3-1 thanks to a goal from sophomore forward Joseph LaBate at the 4:04 mark.

Michigan Tech rallied with a goal four minutes later thanks to Steven Seigo to make the game 3-2 at the 8:39 mark.

The third period saw the equalizer from the Huskies to tie the game up at 3-3 through a Blake Hietala goal at the 3:06 mark.  Overtime could not separate the two teams, and the game ended in a draw.

The Badgers, who are undefeated in their last four games (1-0-3), look to continue this undefeated streak at home December 13 and 14 as they take on Alabama-Huntsville in a two-game series.

The Wisconsin Badger hockey team could not be separated from the Michigan Tech Huskies Friday night, as the teams drew 1-1.

The Badgers (2-7-4) and Huskies (4-8-2) could only muster six shots each in the first period.

The second period was a different story as each team had 11 shots, but could not find the back of the net.

At the 8:42 mark in the third period, sophomore forward Blake Pietila lit the lamp to give Michigan Tech the lead at 1-0.

12 minutes later, at the 16:49 mark, the Badgers equalized on a power play through junior forward Tyler Barnes.

Neither team could break the 1-1 tie at the end of regulation, and while Wisconsin held a 4-3 shooting advantage in overtime, the game ended 1-1.

Wisconsin goalkeeper Landon Peterson and Michigan Tech goalkeeper Kevin Genoe each recorded 30 saves in the game.

The Badgers take on the Huskies for the second of their two game series at the Kohl Center Saturday night.
