A struggling Notre Dame needed a spark against Wisconsin on Saturday, and it came from Alex Steeves. The sophomore forward scored a power-play goal to open the Irish’s scoring, then collected three assists for a career-high four points in a 5-2 win.

Notre Dame (11-4-4, 6-7-3-2) got back to .500 by going 3 for 7 on the power play. Aside from Steeves’ tally, Cal Burke got what proved to be the game-winning goal, and Michael Graham made it a 4-2 advantage midway through the third period. The special teams did allow a shorthanded goal to Roman Ahcan, but it merely was a footnote in the end. An even-strength goal from Charlie Raith, and an empty-netter from Tory Dello.

One night after not lasting to the end of the game, Cale Morris bounced back with a 35-save performance. Eight of those saves came in a first period in which neither team scored. Jack Berry had 32 saves for the Badgers.

Notre Dame Hockey: Irish Battle Badgers, Lose War

Notre Dame showed more life Friday against Wisconsin than it has lately, but it wasn’t enough to prevent a 6-4 loss. The Irish (10-11-4, 5-7-3-2) fell victim to Cole Caulfield’s hat trick, which, coupled with 29 saves for Jack Berry, made the …

Notre Dame showed more life Friday against Wisconsin than it has lately, but it wasn’t enough to prevent a 6-4 loss. The Irish (10-11-4, 5-7-3-2) fell victim to Cole Caulfield’s hat trick, which, coupled with 29 saves for Jack Berry, made the difference for the Badgers (10-12-1, 5-9-1-1).

Seven players have multiple points in this game, including Colin Theisen (one goal, two assists), Mike O’Leary (one goal, one assist) and Spencer Stastney (two assists). And with three power-play goals between the teams, there was no shortage of opportunities for players to pad their stats.

Cale Morris made 19 saves but was pulled for Ryan Bischel after allowing what turned out to be the game-winning goal from Max Zimmer on a Wisconsin power play. Cal Burke got the Irish within one with his own power-play tally, but they never got closer. The closest they got after that was when Trevor Janicke hit the crossbar on yet another man advantage late in the third period. Ugh.
