Sophomore produced national-best six-point weekend to lead Badgers at Michigan
MADISON, Wis. – Leading the nation with six points last weekend, sophomore forward Trent Frederic earned recognition as the Big Ten Second Star of the week for his performance at Michigan.
Â
Frederic, a first-round draft choice of the Boston Bruins, posted a goal and two assists in both games last weekend, scoring the first goal in both contests.
Â
On Friday, UW fell, 5-3, but Frederic opened the scoring, then set up both of linemate Ryan Wagner's third-period goals that helped UW climb to within 4-3 after trailing 4-1 to start the final frame.
Â
Saturday, Frederic repeated his first-goal tally, then recorded a pair of power-play assists in UW's 4-2 victory.
Â
Frederic finished the weekend plus-4 and was on the ice for all seven of Wisconsin's goals.
Â
Wisconsin's leader with 14 goals, including six in his last seven contests, Frederic ranks second on the Badgers with 27 points.
Â
This marks Frederic's fourth career Big Ten Star of the Week honor and his second of the season.
Frederic's six-point weekend marked the first for a Badger since Mark Zengerle and Nic Kerdiles both posted two goals and four assists in a series at Penn State on March 7-8, 2014.
Â
Notre Dame goaltender Cale Morris was named the Big Ten First Star of the week after making 103 saves on 108 shots in a win and tie (shootout win) against Penn State.
