UW with a lot riding on Michigan Tech series
By Parker Gabriel | Feb. 26, 2010Maybe Michigan Tech is not the most prolific opponent Wisconsin has faced this year, and maybe the match up fails to grab the attention that becomes virtually commonplace in the WCHA, but good luck convincing the Badgers that this is a throwaway weekend. They have the chance to come back from Houghton, Mich., with a home playoff berth and sole possession of second place in the league wrapped up, and that stands as plenty of incentive. The puck drops from the MacInnes Student Ice Arena at 7 p.m. both Friday and Saturday in the second season series between the Badgers and the Huskies.
