Wisconsin raced to a 3-0 lead in the first period. Jack Gorniak fired in the Badgers’ first goal with 17:23 to go in the period, then Josh Ess made a nifty move with the puck and deposited it into the net with 12:58 left in the frame.

With 3:39 to go in the period, Ty Pelton-Byce deflected a shot into the net for Wisconsin’s third goal.

Defenseman Tyler Inamoto sniped in a long-range shot with 2:58 remaining in the second period for his first score of the season.
