After weaving in and out of Wisconsin’s many one-way streets, we are live in Madison for Friday night hockey between the Gophers and Badgers.
Minnesota First Line:
Left Wing-Mike Hoeffel
Center-Jordan Schroeder
Right Wing-Nico Sacchetti
The big question heading into Friday night would be who would replace injured senior Jay Barriball on the first line. At least for tonight, that question has been answered by sophomore Nico Sacchetti, who joins Schroeder on the First Line.
Defensive First Line:
Left-Cade Fairchild
Right-David Fischer
Another injury on the Gophers front line is freshman Nick Leddy, who is out for six weeks with a broken jaw. Replacing him in the first line is senior David Fischer.
Goalie:
Alex Kangas
Wisconsin First Line:

Center-Blake Geoffrion
Right wing-Craig Smith
