No. 4/4 Minnesota looks to start a new winning streak when it heads to rv/rv Notre Dame, which returns to Compton Family Ice Arena after two weeks on the road. Coming off a bye week, No. 5/5 Michigan travels to rv/rv Penn State to face a Nittany Lions squad searching for its first conference win. No. 2/2 Michigan State takes a break from conference action to take on the U.S. National Team Development Program in an exhibition game to be held in Plymouth, Mich. No. 14/12 Ohio State and rv/rv Wisconsin are idle this week after sweeping road games on Friday and Saturday.&nbsp; • Seven of the eight conference series (including the last five) contested this season have resulted in two-game sweeps. Minnesota, Ohio State and Wisconsin have swept as road teams. • Michigan State moved up to No. 2 in national polls released on Monday. The 9-1-0 Spartans have won seven-straight games, the program’s longest streak since 2007-08. MSU is also 4-0-0 in Big Ten play for the first time. Michigan State is chasing Minnesota for the longest win streak this season in the Big Ten. The Gophers saw their nine-game win streak snapped Saturday against in-state rival Bemidji State. Minnesota is 4-0-0 at home, and after this weekend, will have played 10 games away from home. Junior forward Jimmy Snuggerud is on the cusp of two career milestones, needing one point to reach 100&nbsp; and three goals to hit 50 (a feat accomplished by three active players). • Goaltending depth has propelled Ohio State to nine wins in 12 games as Kristoffer Eberly and Logan Terness split time between the pipes. Eberly, who is unbeaten at 5-0-0, leads the nation with a 1.29 goals-against average and stands third with a .946 save percentage while Terness ranks sixth in the Big Ten with a 2.28 goals-against and .917 save percentage. The duo has combined to give OSU the 11th-best scoring defense (2.08) in the country. Against Lindenwood last week, Ohio State received a boost offensively from sophomore forward Riley Thompson, who was named Big Ten First Star of the Week. Thompson collected five points (two goals, three assists) and scored the game-winning goal in the series opener. &nbsp; • After dropping two games to Minnesota in the Border Battle, Wisconsin rebounded with a pair of wins at No. 18/18 Penn State over the weekend, extending their win streak in the series to seven games, including five-straight at Pegula Ice Arena. The Badgers exploded for 11 goals after tallying eight goals in four previous contests. The wins moved Wisconsin into a second-place tie with Minnesota in the Big Ten standings, a point behind front-runner Michigan State. • Tickets for the Frozen Confines: Big Ten Hockey Series, taking place Jan. 3-4, 2025 at Wrigley Field, are on sale at Cubs.com/BigTenHockey. Tickets start at $15.

No. 20/rv Notre Dame travels to No. 7/7 Michigan in a rematch of the 2024 Big Ten Tournament Quarterfinals while No. 13/12 Ohio State takes on No. 4/3 Michigan State for the first time since the 2024 Big Ten Semifinals. The latest installment of the Border Battle finds No. 3/3 Minnesota heading to rv/rv Wisconsin. No. 19/19 Penn State is idle. All six games this weekend will be streamed on B1G+. • Notre Dame junior Owen Say was named national Co-Goaltender of the Month by the Hockey Commissioners Association (HCA) following an outstanding October in net. A transfer from Mercyhurst, Say posted a 3-0-0 record along with a 1.00 goals-against average and .969 save percentage (stopping 95-of-98 shots).&nbsp; He shared the award with Josh Kotai of Augustana. Say has won four of five games to start his Fighting Irish career. • Ohio State extended its winning streak to seven games with a sweep of Lake Superior State at Value City Arena on Nov. 1-2. The Buckeyes exploded for 15 goals, winning by the scores of 9-3 and 6-2. Not surprisingly, Ohio State’s 2.38 scoring margin ranks sixth-best in the nation. OSU (7-0-1) is one of six remaining unbeaten teams in the nation, joining Denver (8-0-0), Colorado College (6-0-0), Maine (6-0-1), Cornell (2-0-0) and Dartmouth (2-0-0). • Minnesota has also strung together a winning streak that has reached six games. The Golden Gophers opened conference play with a pair of wins against Penn State in Minneapolis. Jimmy Clark’s goal with 26 seconds left in the third period broke a scoreless tie in a 1-0 win Saturday as goaltender Liam Souliere made 28 saves to shutout his former team. &nbsp; • Michigan moved up four spots in the national polls after taking two games from No. 5/5 Boston University by the scores of 5-1 and 5-4 (OT). It was the highest-ranked road sweep in Michigan’s history and marked the first time since 2017 that BU had dropped a weekend set at Agganis Arena. Evan Werner scored the game-winner on Friday and finished with four points in the series to earn Big Ten First Star of the Week honors. Teammate Jackson Hallum recorded a hat trick and notched the overtime game-winner on Saturday to garner Big Ten Second Star of the Week accolades. • Four Big Ten schools rank in the Top 10 in NCAA attendance. Wisconsin stands second nationally, averaging 9,377 spectators per game at the Kohl Center. Minnesota is right behind in third with an average of 8,982.

Rv/rv Wisconsin, which opened the Big Ten season two weeks ago, travels to No. 19/20 Notre Dame while No. 4/4 Minnesota hosts No. 18/18 Penn State. The Golden Gophers swept the Nittany Lions in the 2024 Big Ten Tournament Quarterfinals. In nonconference action, #11/11 Michigan takes on No. 5/5 Boston University on the road and No. 15/15 Ohio State entertains Lake Superior State in Columbus. No. 3/3 Michigan State is idle this week after moving up a spot in the national polls. Six Big Ten teams are ranked in the USCHO.com and USA Hockey/The Rink Live Top 20 polls, matching an all-time high for the conference.&nbsp; • Ohio State, picked seventh in the preseason coaches poll, is off to a 2-0 conference start and remains unbeaten with a 5-0-1 overall record. RIT transfer Aiden Hansen-Bukata owns a team-best eight points on defense and second-year forward Max Montes has five goals in six games. Kristoffer Eberly (1.00 GAA, .962 SV%) and Logan Terness (1.59 GAA, .942 SV%) have been formidable in goal for the third-best defensive team in the country (1.33 goals allowed per game). The OSU penalty kill is operating at an .889 clip (16-for-18) and the Buckeyes have allowed one goal or fewer in four-straight contests. • Coming off 2024 NCAA Tournament appearances, Minnesota and Michigan State continue to experience success based on 5-1-0 starts to the season. The Gophers rank second nationally in scoring, averaging 5.50 goals per game after netting five-or-more goals in four-straight outings. Junior forwards Connor Kurth and Matthew Wood are averaging 2.0 points per game as the third-leading scorers in the nation. The offense has helped Bob Motzko’s team complete sweeps of in-state rivals Minnesota Duluth and St. Thomas. Michigan State has proven to be stingy on defense as well, allowing 1.50 goals per game while outscoring opponents, 18-9, on the season. Since the start of the 2023-24 season, the Spartans have compiled a 30-11-3 record with Adam Nightingale behind the bench. • Entering this week’s action with a 4-1-0 record, Penn State is continuing a trend of fast starts under 13-year Head Coach Guy Gadowsky. The Nittany Lions have won 19 of their last 22 games in October going back three years and sport a 33-5-0 record in October dating to 2018. Penn State’s only setback this season was a one-goal loss to No. 8/8 Quinnipiac on the road. • The next Big Ten Hockey game scheduled for the Big Ten Network will take place December 5 when Penn State travels to Ohio State. Until then, fans can tune into live streams of Big Ten games on B1G+ (bigtenplus.com), a subscription service from BTN. In addition to hockey, B1G+ offers live streaming of over 1,400 non-televised games, On-Demand archives of both non-televised and televised games and access to the BTN’s video library and programming.

Last year, the Big Ten posted the best nonconference record in the country, compiling a .731 winning percentage (54-18-6). • The emergence of Ohio State in the Top 20 this week places seven Big Ten teams in the national polls. Five Big Ten schools are listed in both polls while Penn State and Wisconsin are on the cusp joining that club.&nbsp; • Big Ten play began last week with Ohio State sweeping Wisconsin in Madison with a pair of 2-1 decisions. It was a case of déjà vu for the Badgers, who as a No. 2 seed, were upset by No. 7 seed Ohio State in the Big Ten Tournament Quarterfinals last spring. OSU forward Max Montes scored game-winning goals both nights to earn the Big Ten First Star of the Week Award while netminder Logan Terness stopped 37 of 38 shots on Friday to garner Big Ten Third Star honors.
