Welcome to the Badger Herald Live Blog! I am Badger Herald Statistics Editor Brett Sommers. Tonight I will be bringing you live men’s hockey action of an always anticipated match up between the Wisconsin Badgers and North Dakota Fighting Sioux at the Kohl Center.

Thus far on the season Wisconsin is 1-3-0, all three losses coming in heartbreak fashion in overtime, including both games at Michigan Tech last Friday and Saturday. Tonight’s contest will be the first conference series for North Dakota, who has started the season off 2-1-1.

The Badgers are expected to once again use a two man rotation in front of the net with Landon Peterson playing tonight and Joel Rumpel picking up game two tomorrow night, but if any changes are made the Badger Herald Live Blog will be right here to update you on everything from lineups to the final score.
