Brodie Ziemer batted the puck out of midair for the overtime game winner Saturday as the third-ranked Golden Gophers finished off a Big Ten Conference sweep at Wisconsin in men’s hockey action from Kohl Center.
Ziemer skated alone at the net and finished off a backhand saucer pass from Jimmy Snuggerud as Minnesota (9-1-0 overall, 4-0-0 B1G) erased a one-goal deficit in the third period to sweep the Badgers (2-8-0 overall, 1-5-0 B1G). Connor Kurth scored the second power-play goal of the night for the Gophers that pulled the visitors even with 6:04 to play in regulation, leading to the overtime heroics from the freshman that earned the team’s eighth-consecutive victory.
