Series Notes
This will mark the 151st and 152nd meetings between the two schools. UND has taken two of the last three games in the series at the Kohl Center, including last spring’s overtime victory in the 2008 NCAA Midwest Regional Final, but the UW is 6-3-0 in the building against UND since the 2003–04 season
Wisconsin Notes
The UW sits in fourth place, just
one point behind third-place Colorado
College with a game at hand on the
Tigers, and two points ahead of three
teams tied for fifth place and the final
WCHA first-round playoff spot.
The Badgers need two points to
guarantee a first-round home playoff
series, but can still get home ice
without it, depending upon other team
results. Three points and the Badgers
would clinch third place.
The Badgers currently hold the
tie break over Minnesota, Minnesota
Duluth and Colorado College. St.
Cloud State is the only team that could
possibly win a tie break with the Badgers,
but that is still to be determined
depending upon upcoming results.
The Badgers are 13-6-2 over their
last 19 league contests dating back to
Nov. 1, and 6-4-0 at home during that
stretch, though just 2-4-0 over the last
six home league contests.
Among Wisconsin’s last seven losses, six have come by just one goal.
Wisconsin has outshot its opponent in each of its last four games and posted
at least 35 shots in each contest, but is just 0-3-1 during that stretch.
