No. 7 Wisconsin is arguably the hottest team in college hockey since the semester break. The Badgers travel to a team coming off a three-week pause, No. 8 Michigan, in a key Big Ten series. Todd D. Milewski, Wisconsin State Journal beat writer for Badgers hockey, joins hosts Jim Connelly and Ed Trefzger for a preview.
We also look at Denver at No. 2 North Dakota in the NCHC, UMass Lowell vs. No. 1 Boston College and No. 20 UConn vs. No. 16 Providence in Hockey East, and No. 11 Quinnipiac at Colgate in the ECAC.
And a WCHA matchup is highlighted by the stellar goaltending numbers of Dryden McKay, as he and his fellow No. 3 Minnesota State Mavericks visit Alabama Huntsville.
