  "account": "On November 5, Wisconsin's top-ranked men's hockey team secured a 1-1 tie in their season opener against Minnesota at the 3M Arena in Minneapolis. The game went down as a tie for record purposes, with Wisconsin earning an extra point after a shootout victory. Wisconsin's Bruno Idžan scored the tying goal and netted the game-winning shootout winner. This win came after a weekend in which Wisconsin swept Notre Dame 7-1 and 9-1.\n\nMinnesota, ranked 18th, finished the game 3-3-3 (1-0-2 Big Ten) after their third tie in nine games under first-year coach Brett Larson. The win was the first of three unconventional Thursday-Saturday matchups the Badgers will play during the regular season. The next game is set for November 7 at 7 p.m., with B1G+ streaming coverage.\n\nJunior defenseman Logan Hensler, a 2025 Ottawa Senators first-round draft pick, was named to the U.S. Collegiate Selects team for the 2026 Spengler Cup in Switzerland. This marks the second year in a row that a top Badger player will miss the Kwik Trip Holiday Face-off at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee.",
