MADISON, Wis. -- There was more than just the 25th anniversary of the 1990 Wisconsin men's hockey team's national championship to celebrate Saturday at the Kohl Center.
The Badgers (2-16-4, 0-6-2-2) tied Minnesota (12-9-3, 3-2-3-0), 4-4, through regulation and five minutes of overtime, before earning an extra point in the Big Ten standings with a shootout victory that lasted seven rounds.
| Fast Facts | | • McGuire scored shootout-deciding goal | | • Wagner tied UW record for earliest goal in a game | | • Hughes scored his first-career goal | |
With 1:13 left in the game it looked as if UW would steal its first conference win against its biggest nemesis after coming back from down a goal on two occasions.
Cameron Hughes had just sent the Crease Creatures and rest of the "White Out" Kohl Center crowd into a frenzy, as the freshman finally found the scoresheet on the power play to put the Badgers on top, 4-3.
But the Gophers found some late-game magic to force extra time, scoring the tying goal with 2.0 seconds left on the clock.
Seth Ambroz, who scored twice Friday night in Minnesota's 7-5 win, proved to be his team's hero, as he netted his second goal of Saturday's game during a mad scramble in front of UW's net.
Unfazed by U of M's heroics, though, Wisconsin played tough in overtime to earn a tie.
Badgers goaltender Joel Rumpel made four saves during the five-minute period, giving him a total of 42 for the game.
And if his performance during 65 minutes of combined regulation and overtime play were not enough, it was Rumpel who backstopped Wisconsin to victory in the shootout, too.
After McGuire had gone forehand-backhand, top-shelf on Minnesota net minder Adam Wilcox in the first-half of the seventh round of the shootout, Rumpel denied Justin Kloos to finish off the Gophers.
Besse and Hughes also scored for UW to give it a 3-2 shootout win.
UW got out to its second-straight first-period lead thanks to Ryan Wagner's first-career goal-a redirect off a shot from Jake Linhart-nine seconds into the contest.
The tally tied the UW record for quickest goal to start a game. Gary Winchester and Steve Reinprecht had previously accomplished the feat in 1973 and 1999, respectively.
U of M then scored back-to-back goals to earn a 2-1 advantage, which it held until the 7:01 mark of the third, but Grant Besse knotted the score with a one-timer fed perfectly by Adam Rockwood on the power play.
Besse's goal was his fifth in four games against Minnesota this year. The sophomore leads the team with nine goals and 16 points in 2014-15.
The deadlock did not last long, as Christian Isackson regained the Gophers' lead just 30 seconds later.
A slapper from Kevin Schulze, again set up by Rockwood, evened the game about halfway through the final frame before goals from Hughes and Ambroz led to overtime.
The result marked the second tie and shootout win over Minnesota for the Badgers this season.
UW finished off the night 2-for-3 on the power play, while Minnesota went 1-for-6 with the man advantage, with a five-minute major in the second period and a five-on-three in the third period.
UW will play four of its next five series on the road, beginning next weekend at Penn State. Friday's game is set for a 5:30 p.m. puck drop on BTN, while the series finale on Saturday will be at 1 p.m. on American Sports Network.
