Welcome to the Badger Herald live blog. I’m Brett Sommers, Statistics Editor
at the Badger Herald, alongside Sports Content Editor Kelly Erickson. We will be
bringing you all of tonight’s Game 2 action between Wisconsin and Alaska Anchorage from the Kohl Center.
Friday night the Badgers (11-10-1, 6-9-2 WCHA) controlled the game throughout against the Seawolves (6-13-2, 3-13-1 WCHA), scoring in every period on the way to a 4-0 victory. The biggest story of the night was another lock down performance by UW freshman goalie Joel Rumpel, who secured his second shutout in three games.
After being quiet on offense recently the top two Wisconsin offensive weapons, junior defenseman Justin Schultz and sophomore center Mark Zengerle, each tallied three points in the victory. Each finished the game with one goal and two assists.
Heading into tonight’s game, Wisconsin looks to reach two games above .500 for the first time all season in an effort to climb higher in the WCHA standings.
Stay tuned for all of tonight’s action.
