The fourth-ranked Gophers men's hockey team completed a series sweep of border rival No. 17 Wisconsin with a 4-1 victory Saturday night in front of a record crowd of 10,894 at 3M Arena at Mariucci in Minneapolis. The 10,984 fans in attendance at Mariucci Saturday set a single-game attendance record for the program in 30-plus years at the venue.

In front of the largest crowd in 3M Arena at Mariucci history, the fourth-ranked Golden Gophers scored four times in the third period to win, 4-1 and finish off a series sweep of No. 17/18 Wisconsin in Big Ten Conference men’s hockey action Saturday evening.

With the Gophers on an abbreviated power play, Wood slipped a low shot through a crowd in front of Wisconsin goalie Tommy Scarfone, after the teams had played 49 minutes of scoreless hockey. His goal seemed to rattle the Badgers’ puck-stopper, as goals by Connor Kurth and Oliver Moore followed in quick succession.
