MADISON, Wis. – The No. 6/8 Wisconsin women's hockey team heads east to Columbus, Ohio, to take on No. 1 Ohio State this weekend at the OSU Ice Rink. Puck drop on Friday is set for 5 p.m. CT while Saturday's series finale begins at 2 p.m. CT.

Friday's game will air on Bally Sports Wisconsin, Bally Sports Great Lakes and Bally Sports North Extra. Both games can be seen live on B1G+ while Friday's game can be heard on 1070 AM as Reid Magnum has the call. Fans can also find updates on the series on Twitter @BadgerWHockey.

1. KRONISH NAMED TO NATIONAL GOALIE WATCH LIST: UW senior netminder Cami Kronish has earned a spot on the Hockey Commissioner's Association National Goalie of the Year Watch List. The New York, New York, native has a .926 save percentage and a WCHA-best 1.34 goals against average. She holds a 10-4-1 record and has five shutouts and earned SportsCenter's No. 1 Play on Nov. 20. She was named the WCHA Goaltender of the Week a day later. She also posted the school's fourth-longest shutout streak earlier this season. 

2. OUTDOOR SKATE UPDATE: Due to warm temperatures and less than ideal ice conditions, the Wisconsin women's hockey program and Madison Parks have made the decision to hold a Meet and Greet with the Badgers instead of an outdoor skate at Vilas Park on Tuesday, Jan. 17. The event will run from 6-7 p.m. and will feature Bucky Badger and autographs. Team autograph cards will be available, and fans are encouraged to bring their own items from home for the team to sign as well.

3. FILL THE BOWL: We're less than a month away from the Badgers' Fill the Bowl game against St. Cloud State on Friday, Feb. 3 at the Kohl Center. Tickets are only $2 for the 7 p.m. contest as UW looks to match its NCAA single-game attendance record against the Huskies. UW own the top six attendance marks in NCAA history and are the only program to draw more than 10,000 fans to a women's hockey contest.

4. TV TIME FOR THE BADGERS: Friday's game will be the first of three regular-season games on television for the Badgers as UW's series opener at OSU will air on Bally Sports Wisconsin, Bally Sports Great Lakes and also Bally Sports North Extra. In addition, both games of UW's road Border Battle will air on television. The series opener on Friday, Feb. 10 will air on Bally Sports North Extra while the series finale will be carried on Big Ten Network. 

5. UP NEXT: Following the Badgers' trip to Columbus, they will head home to face Minnesota State next Saturday and Sunday at LaBahn Arena. Puck drop for both contests is set for 2 p.m. and a limited amount of tickets are available through UWBadgers.com. Fans that can't make it to Madison can watch the series live on B1G+.
