Welcome to the Herald Sports Live Blog! I’m Kelly Erickson, Sports Content Editor, joined by Brett Sommers, Statistics Editor, and Ian McCue, Associate Sports Editor. Ian is with us tonight, trying to flex his hockey muscles. We’ll be here all night, bringing you all the action from the Kohl Center as Wisconsin tries to move up in the WCHA.
Wisconsin (12-12-2, 7-11-2 WCHA) hosts St. Cloud State (10-14-4, 7-10-3 WCHA) who sits only one point ahead of the Badgers in the conference standings. Last time these two faced off, SCSU won the first game 7-2 and skated to a 3-3 the following night, in St. Cloud, Minn. On top of trying to move up in the standings, the Badgers will also be looking for some redemption.
One point head coach Mike Eaves has been stressing all week is the need to take more shots on net, rather than trying to pass the puck off to someone else. The shot chart is certainly something to keep an eye on this weekend.
Keep it here all night long as the Badgers take on the Huskies.
