No. 1 Wisconsin and No. 2 Minnesota end Border Battle weekend with a tie

MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) - No. 1 Wisconsin and No. 2 Minnesota end their final Border Battle weekend of the season with the worst feeling for either team, a tie.

After the Badgers took a 2-0 lead 14 minutes into the second period, Minnesota went on a two-goal run to end regulation and send the game into OT. With no goals scored in 3-on-3, both teams went to a shootout with Minnesota taking the extra point after winning the shootout 1-0.
