MADISON, Wis. – No. 20 Notre Dame knew it would have its hands full against No. 4 Wisconsin in Friday’s opening game of their Big Ten hockey series.

Surprisingly, coach Jeff Jackson’s Fighting Irish had a 2-0 lead against the Badgers in the first 39 minutes of the game. But coach Mike Hastings’ Badgers then scored three goals in a span of 1:56 between 19:22 of the second period and 1:18 of the third period on their way to a 4-2 victory before 9,789 watching at the Bob Johnson Rink in the Kohl Center.

Hastings, the former Minnesota State head coach who has rejuvenated the Wisconsin program in his first season, saw two transfer-portal players from his old school stun the Irish with three goals. First sophomore center Christian Fitzgerald beat Irish goaltender Ryan Bischel at 19:21.9 of the second period and then senior center David Silye tied the score at 19:36.8.

Silye then scored the game-winner at 1:18 of the third period before Carson Bantle scored an empty net goal at 18:00.

The victory improved the second-place Badgers to 12-4-1 in the Big Ten for 38 points and 21-6-2 overall. Wisconsin remained five points behind first-place Michigan State, a 5-1 winner at Michigan Friday night. Notre Dame, meanwhile, remained in fourth place at 8-9-2 for 27 points, two ahead of the Wolverines but now five points behind third-place Minnesota, which shut out visiting Penn State 3-0.

The two teams conclude their series Saturday night at 7 p.m. EST.

Bischel, a grad goaltender and the reigning West All-American, made 34 saves, 18 of them in the first period. Wisconsin senior Kyle McClellan, who leads the nation with six shutouts and entered the game with a goals-against average of 1.88, turned aside 21 Irish shots after allowing goals by Hunter Strand and Tyler Carpenter in the first period.

Bischel was on his game early, making four saves, two each on Badgers Cruz Lucius and Daniel Laatsch, in the third minute. He then denied William Whitelaw at 5:23 and Quinn Finley at 6:29.

Notre Dame’s first goal came at 8:25. Grad defenseman Ryan Siedem carried the puck to center ice and dumped it ahead to Carpenter at the Wisconsin blueline. Carpenter then directed the puck over to linemate Justin Janicke, who skated in on McClellan. When the Badgers’ goaltender committed to Janicke, the Irish right wing passed the puck cross ice to Strand, who tipped it into the vacated net for a 1-0 lead. It was Strand’s fourth goal of the season.

Bischel then made another six saves to keep his teammates ahead before the third line combined again at 17:22 to give the Irish a 2-0 lead. Strand carried the puck down to the left of McClellan before getting the puck over to Janicke, who spun around and sent the puck across to Carpenter. Carpenter outbattled Silye for the puck in the crease and lifted it past McClellan for his fifth goal of the season.

Bischel then stopped three shots before Irish defenseman Paul Fischer went off for roughing at 18:40. He then stopped shots by Lucius and Silye before the period ended.

In the second period, the first of the two five-minute majors called against the Irish was a face masking penalty to defenseman Zach Plucinski, who also received a game misconduct at 4:55. After McClellan turned aside two shorthanded tries by Siedem, the Badgers appeared to have cut the lead in half at 8:50 on a power-play goal by Mathieu De St. Phalle. But Jackson challenged the goal having been scored after Wisconsin was offsides and it was overturned.

The Irish maintained their 2-0 lead until Fitzgerald and Silye did their damage. It was still 3-2 when Notre Dame defenseman Henry Nelson received a five-minute major and a game misconduct at 11:53 for hitting from behind. The Irish managed to kill that major off as well.

How to live stream Wisconsin vs Dartmouth: NCAA hockey, TV channel

March continues on the ice as Dartmouth Big Green takes on Wisconsin Badgers in a regional semifinal matchup in the 2026 NCAA Men’s Hockey Tournament.

How to Watch Wisconsin vs Dartmouth

Date: Thursday, March 26, 2026

Wisconsin enters the tournament as one of the more complete teams in the field, combining strong defensive structure with high-end offensive talent. The Badgers have leaned on forward Cruz Lucius, a dynamic scorer capable of creating chances in transition, along with Kirsten Simms, who has been a consistent offensive presence throughout the season. On the blue line, Wisconsin’s physicality and ability to limit quality scoring chances have made it a difficult matchup.

Dartmouth arrives as a disciplined and well-coached group that thrives on structure and goaltending. The Big Green will look to slow the game down and rely on key contributors like John Fusco and Cade Webber to control play in their own zone while generating offense through efficient puck movement.

This matchup will likely come down to pace and execution. Wisconsin prefers to push tempo and create scoring opportunities off the rush, while Dartmouth will aim to keep things tight, limit mistakes, and capitalize on special teams opportunities.

Fans can watch the NCAA hockey tournament across the ESPN family of networks, with games airing on ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPNU, while select matchups stream exclusively on ESPN+.
