With an at-large berth to the NCAA tournament out of the picture, and little chance of capturing home-ice advantage for the first round of the Big Ten tournament, Wisconsin’s men’s hockey team entered Columbus for its final series of the regular season looking to recapture some momentum after a deflating home finale.

Defense was the name of the game Saturday afternoon, as No. 1 Wisconsin faced off against No. 7 Minnesota in the final game of the WCHA regular season. With sold out LaBahn Arena rocking, the Badgers (20-2-2-2 WCHA, 28-3-2 overall) were able to pull out a gritty 1-0 win against the Gophers (16-7-32, 20-9-3) thanks to a first period goal by Maddie Rolfes that deflected off two Gopher defenders before finding the back of the net. Kristen Campbell recorded her NCAA leading 11th clean sheet on the year, but Campbell got a huge lift all night from her defense, which actually recorded more blocked shots,19, than Campbell had saves, 16. After the game, seniors Lauren Williams, Baylee Wellhausen and Claudia Kepler raised the WCHA regular season trophy for the third straight year.

Friday nights haven’t been kind to Wisconsin this year — the Badgers have dropped numerous series openers in disappointing fashion — but just about every time, they’ve bounced back with a strong performance the following night. Associate head coach Mark Osiecki even acknowledged the pattern after Friday night’s dispiriting 4-2 loss to Minnesota.

In Wisconsin’s opening game of its first series against Minnesota, the Badgers dominated the Gophers for almost the entire game, outscoring them 4-1 over 49 minutes and 34 seconds of the 60 minute contest. But for a 10 minute and 26 second stretch in the second period, Minnesota scored four unanswered goals and stole a 5-4 win from Wisconsin, who deserved a victory for its stellar play throughout the majority of the game.

In a disappointing weekend in Columbus, Ohio, the No. 1 Wisconsin Badgers (23-3-1, 17-2-1 WCHA) were swept by the No. 6 Ohio State Buckeyes (19-7-4, 12-4-4). Wisconsin had not lost to Ohio State since 2015 and had not been swept by the Buckeyes since 2010.

No. 1 Wisconsin (26-1-1) travels to No. 6 Ohio State (17-7-4) this weekend in a matchup featuring two of the top teams in the country. The last time these two teams faced off was in early November, and the Badgers swept that series in convincing fashion, outscoring the Buckeyes 10-1 over the two games. Since that series, UW has continued to put up win after win, while OSU has basically been treading water, posting a 10-5-1 record. Two of those five losses came last weekend against unranked Minnesota Duluth, while the Badgers are coming off a weekend series sweep of St. Cloud State.

Wisconsin and Michigan are both in full desperation mode. No. 18 Wisconsin (7-8-2-1 Big Ten, 13-12-3-0 Overall) will likely need to go around 4-2 over its last six games and have a pretty successful Big Ten Tournament run in order to make the postseason. No. 20 Michigan will need to do even better than that over its last eight contests if it hopes to complete its rebound from a weak 2016-’17 campaign and make a surprise run at the NCAA Tournament.

Hockey is vastly different than any other sport. It’s remarkably fast, uniquely physical and fiercely emotional. The flow to the game is graceful and captivating, and it demands fortitude. But one of the most notable aspects of hockey that differentiates the game from any other team sport — an element that often gets overlooked by fans and is a primary cause of those more tangible distinctions — is the amount of time that each player spends on the ice at a time.

The Wisconsin Badgers (26-1-1) came out and notched another victory against St. Cloud State (6-16-3) by a score of 3-2 on Sunday. Coming off of a 4-0 victory yesterday afternoon, Wisconsin looked a bit off without star defender, senior Mikaela Gardner, but was still able to get the job done as it has all season. St. Cloud State was coming off a 6 game stretch where they went 3-2-1, doubled its season win total over that span.

The No. 1 Wisconsin Badgers (25-1-1) beat the St. Cloud State Huskies (6-16-3) 4-0 Saturday afternoon in a sold-out game at LaBahn Arena.

For the majority of Wisconsin’s games this season, the story has been this: UW played well, but it still couldn’t win. Often, the Badgers would play solid hockey — and even outplay their opponents — but would ultimately come up short despite stretches of smart, dominant hockey.

Fresh off of an overtime win and a draw against the unranked Bemidji State Beavers, the No. 1 Wisconsin Badgers (24-1-1-0) return to the ice this weekend for a pair of games versus the St. Cloud State Huskies (6-15-3).
