games and the UW is 3-1-2 over that stretch
The
last sweep in the series came Dec. 3-4, 2004 as the
Badgers won a pair of 3-2 games. The Badgers last
swept a series at UMD on Nov. 9-10, 2001 and the teams
split their only two meetings of last season (2/1-2/08),
with both games played at the Kohl Center
The Badgers went 5-for-7
on the power play last Saturday,
the most power-play goals for the
Badgers since they went 5-for-11
against Colorado College on Jan.

Dane County Coliseum.
The game extended Wisconsin’s power-play goal scoring
string to four games (9-for-25
- 36.0 percent). The team has at
least one power-play goal in seven
of its last eight games.

cent success rate (14-for-55). The
squad is now succeeding on 19.7
percent (14-for-71) of its power
plays overall, to rank fifth in the
WCHA in all games.
Junior defenseman Jamie McBain’s 12 points (three goals,
nine assists) in WCHA games
leads the league, while his 1.50
points-per-game average in
WCHA contests ranks third.
Overall, McBain’s 12
points in all games shares sixth in
