St. Cloud State at Wisconsin: Friday Night Line Chart

As I said in the series preview, if I would have told you in November that this Wisconsin club had a chance to clinch a share of the MacNaughton Cup in the final weekend of the season, you would have thought I was on crazy pills.

Annnnnnd here we are.

In order to clinch a share of the MacNaughton Cup, Wisconsin needs to sweep St. Cloud AND have Minnesota and North Dakota not earn more than two points this weekend. Is it likely? No. Is it possible? Yes.

For any of that happen, the Badgers need to earn a victory on Friday night at the old Coliseum in Madison. It's throwback weekend, and the players have been looking forward to this one for a while. Here are tonight's game day vitals.

What you need to know:

Who: No. 8 St. Cloud State (20-13-1, 17-8-1 WCHA) at No. 14 Wisconsin (16-11-7, 12-7-7 WCHA)
What: Final regular season series of the season
Where: Veterans Memorial Coliseum (Madison, Wis.)
Game Time: 7:07 PM CT
