Badgers 3, Mavericks 3 - OT final

Rylan Galiardi got the game-winning goal on the power play midway through the third period. Each team had three shots on goal in overtime.

That score sounds familiar, eh? Same as last night. Just like last night, Wisconsin scored three goals in the second period.

The Mavericks took a 2-0 lead on a nice play by its top line that finished with a Trevor Bruess goal. Mouillierat made the pass, and Geoff Irwin charged hard to get the puck up the ice.

But the Badgers scored three goals in a span of 4:12, including two by Michael Davies. Tom Gorowsky gave them the lead with a blast from the point after a clean faceoff win by Derek Stepan.

Shots were 13-13 in the period and both goalies made big saves in the last minute or so.

Kael Mouillierat's power-play goal a 12:47 was the period's lone goal on the power play. Assists from Louwerse (a nice pass across the goal-mouth to Mouillierat open at the right post) and Berge (his 22nd of the year).

Shots are 9-8 in favor of Wisconsin. The second period will begin 4x4.
