1. POWER UP POWER PLAY: Wisconsin is coming off of a split in Mankato, earning a 5-1 win Friday night before suffering a 3-1 setback Saturday, but with another power-play goal under their belt last weekend, the Badgers continue to lead the nation.
UW is on fire with an NCAA top-ranked power-play percentage at a .372 clip (32 of 85). Wisconsin is the only NCAA DI program to have a power play operating at a +.300 clip, and its 32 power-play goals rank third in the NCAA.
The Badgers look to break their school record for power-play percentage set by the 2008-09 NCAA championship team (.306).
2. RACK 'EM AND STACK 'EM: The 2019-20 season is the first year since 2011-12, the fifth year in total, that the Badgers have three or more players at 50 or more points in one season.
Junior
Daryl Watts, who is enjoying a historic season for Wisconsin as she leads the country in points, holds 66. Her 66 points through 30 games are the most in school history as its one point more than Meghan Hunter's point total her freshman year and two points ahead of Brianna Decker's total during her junior campaign.
Sophomore
Sophie Shirley is tied for third in the nation as she holds 54 points, thanks to 26 goals and 28 assists, while senior
Abby Roque sits at seventh in the NCAA with 51 points, thanks to 21 goals and 30 assists.
These Wisconsin forwards look to best the 2011-12 squad of Brianna Decker at 82 points, Brooke Ammerman at 77, Hilary Knight at 81 and Carolyne Prévost at 59. Previously the Badgers had three or more 50 point scorers 2010-11, 2008-09 and 2006-07.
3. AGAINST THE BUCKEYES: UW swept Ohio State earlier this year in Columbus and are unbeaten in the last six matchups with the Buckeyes.
Watts tallied seven points during the sweep of Ohio State in October while senior captain
Mekenzie Steffen had a career weekend with three points and three assists.
UW leads the all-time series with Ohio State 67-13-9 and are unbeaten in their last six meetings with the Buckeyes. UW is undefeated against Ohio State at LaBahn Arena with an 11-0-3 ledger against the Buckeyes.
4. FILL THE BOWL: The Badgers look to match their NCAA attendance record of 15,359 set at the 2017 edition of Fill the Bowl at this year's Kohl Center game for their series finale against Ohio State Sunday.
That mark ranks in the top-10 in women's hockey history and is believed to be the record for a women's hockey game in the United States. UW will also recognize first responders and military members during its final regular-season home contest.
5. RED AND WHITE … AND BLUE: A slew of 13 past and current Badgers between Team USA and Team Canada saw action during the five-game 2019-20 Rivalry Series that ended Saturday at the Honda Center with a 4-1 series victory for the U.S. Women's National Team.
Badger records were set this series as current UW forwards
Abby Roque and sophomore
Britta Curl earned their first career points with the U.S. senior squad, while Wisconsin legend Hilary Knight posted her 200th career point as a member of the U.S. Women's National Team.
