Wisconsin Men’s Hockey Best Games
#1 Minnesota: December 1-2, 2017 (Minneapolis) February 8-9, 2018 (Kohl Center)
As if it could be anybody else. The Badgers and Gophers split the four games last season as Wisconsin outscored Minnesota 13-12 in the meetings. The teams combined for 42 penalties in the four-game set. So power plays and penalty kills might be important if the border battles boil over again. Minnesota topped the regular season standings in the Big Ten last season finishing +7 points over the 2nd place Badgers.
