A goaltender’s jersey can tell you the kind of game they had; a clean one is a sign that they weren’t tested much, while a netminder who stands on their head can come away covered with signatures of shots stopped. After Sunday’s matchup with Minnesota, Kristin Campbell’s jersey was covered in black puck-marks, including a large one at the tip of the red W.

Without top center Clark, Badgers stepping into new roles as they host Princeton

By Cameron Lane-Flehinger | Oct. 18, 2018

It’s not often that Wisconsin head coach Mark Johnson faces a team for the first time. With more than 15 years of experience in the head job — and fewer than 40 women’s Division 1 teams — Johnson has the luxury of knowing most of the programs he faces inside and out. But that advantage won’t be present this weekend, as Wisconsin’s No. 2-ranked women’s hockey team (2-0-0 WCHA, 6-0-0 overall) welcomes the Princeton Tigers (0-0-0 ECAC, 0-0-0 overall) to Madison.

Sophomore defender Natalie Buchbinder opened the scoring for the Badgers with a rocket from the slot — her first goal of the year and just the second of her career.

Last year Kristin Campbell surprised everyone with her performance and was named the WCHA goaltender of the year, but 2018-19 hasn't started as well for the redshirt junior.
