The top-ranked Wisconsin Badgers men's ice hockey team, undefeated so far this season, will put their number one ranking on the line when they travel to face Minnesota. The matchup comes as the Badgers look to maintain their perfect record early in the 2026-27 campaign.
The Badgers captured the NCAA Division I championship in April 2026, defeating the Denver Pioneers at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. In that title game, Denver's James Reeder tested Wisconsin goaltender Daniel Hauser and defenseman Weston Knox during the first period.
