No. 1 ranked Michigan State is set to return to Big Ten play with a two-game series against Wisconsin. The games will take place at the Kohl Center on December 6 and 7, both starting at 8 pm ET.
The Spartans hold a slight edge in their series history with Wisconsin, having won three of four meetings last year. Currently, Michigan State boasts a nine-game winning streak, most recently sweeping Lindenwood at home.
Michigan State's offensive strength is evident across all four lines and defensive pairs. Notably, Isaac Howard leads the team in points and assists while Daniel Russell tops the goal-scoring chart for the Spartans. Among defensemen, Matt Basgall stands out with his performance in both scoring and blocking shots.
Trey Augustine has been impressive in goal for Michigan State, leading the Big Ten in multiple categories including wins and save percentage. His counterpart Luca Di Pasquo also delivered a shutout performance against Lindenwood.
The upcoming games will be broadcast on the Big Ten Network on Saturday, with radio coverage available on WJIM 1240 AM. Fans can also access web streams via B1G+ on Friday and Fox Sports App on Saturday.
