#10 North Dakota Fighting Sioux (5-4-1, 4-2-0 wcha) versus #13 Wisconsin BADgers (6-2-2, 3-1-2 wcha) UW is 5-4-1 in the last 10 against UND as I mentioned in another blog post.

Century mark for Genoway

Chay Genoway is 4 points away from hitting the 100 point total for his Fighting Sioux hockey career. Chay has played in 142 games (21g-75a-96pts). The next closes player for UND to reach the century club is Evan Trupp 123 games (26g-49a-75pts) and Jason Gregoire 95games (35g-39a-74pts) baring injury both players could have a good chance of hitting the century mark.

To trap or not to trap

The BADgers used to be known for being a boring trap first and offense second type of team, now the BADgers are proving that stereotype wrong. The BADgers ranked 3rd nationally in scoring offense (4.3 goals per game) and fourth in scoring defense (1.80).

Roman from Goal Gophers has been picking the series this season on his blog, last week he predicted a sweep for the Sioux and they split, this week he is predicting a BADgers sweep, lets hope Roman is wrong again.
Roman: Sioux used frosh G Aaron Dell in both games last weekend, instead of Brad Eidsness and split at the Ralph with UMD. No. 10-ranked NoDak is 4-0-1 when it scores four goals or more, 1-4-0 if held under four. D-man Chay Genoway had three assists as he continues comeback. No. 14 Badgers are 3-0-2 in last five games, are third in nation in scoring, averaging 4.3 goals per game. Frosh winger Mark Zengerle had six-point weekend (one goal) at Maroosh. PP clicking. ...
