College Hockey Weekly Report Wisconsin continues its hot streak

The Wisconsin Badgers have proved so far this year that they are the best team in College Hockey.

This weekend the Badgers swept arch-rival Minnesota at Marriuci Arena on the campus of the University of Minnesota.

Brian Elliott is continuing to prove that he is the best goalie in the country. At this point he could well be the favorite to win the Hobey Baker Award. On Friday night Elliott made 35 saves, 27 of them came in the second and third period. Wisconsin was up 4-1 late in the third but gave up two late in the game but survived as the Badgers won 4-3. Saturday was no different as Elliott earned his second shutout of the season as the Badgers won convincingly in a 4-0 shutout of the Gophers. Elliot stopped all 32 Gopher shots giving him 67 saves on the weekend.
