Caufield scores 18th goal of the season in Wisconsin loss
ANN ARBOR, Mich. – The Wisconsin men's hockey team fell Friday night to the Michigan Wolverines in game one of a two-game series at Yost Arena this weekend. The final score from the Big Ten matchup was, 8-4.
The Badgers battled all night in a game that got away in the second half of the third period.
After Michigan scored the lone first-period goal, Jack Gorniak made it 1-1.
After Michigan took a 3-1 lead freshman forward Dylan Holloway scored his first goal since Nov. 30.
After Michigan led 4-2, freshman forward Cole Caufield tallied his 18th goal of the season.
After Michigan led 5-3, senior forward Max ZImmer finished off two-on-one.
The duo of Johan Blomquist and Daniel Lebedeff combined for 33 saves on the night but could not hold off the Michigan offense, including a hat-trick from Michigan's Nick Granowicz.
Cole Caufield and Zimmer each finished with a goal and an assist, while Wyatt Kalynuk, Sean Dhooghe, Brock Caufield, Ty Pelton-Byce and Dominick Mersch all added assists on the night.
Notes to know:
Tony Granato:
"I was real happy with the way we played the game. Just too many went in our net. We created a lot, but unfortunately, they blocked a lot of the shots we created. We played hard and we played until the end of the game."
Up Next: Wisconsin will face Michigan in a rematch tomorrow night at 6:30 p.m. from Ann Arbor. The game will stream on BTN+ with a radio broadcast on 1310 WIBA.
