MADISON, Wis. -- The Wisconsin men's hockey team (4-24-5, 2-14-3-2 Big Ten), powered by its senior class, came back from one goal down twice in the third period to tie Ohio State (12-18-3, 7-11-1-1 Big Ten), 2-2, Friday night at the Kohl Center.

The Buckeyes prevailed in the 10-round shootout to earn an extra point in the Big Ten standings.

Fast Facts
? Navin recorded UW's sixth multi-goal game of year
? Navin registered first multi-goal game of his career
? LaBate and Rockwood had two assists each


Ohio State opened the scoring over halfway through the second period.


Sam Jardine stepped out of the Badgers' right corner and took the puck to the net. Wisconsin goaltender Landon Peterson denied Jardine, and the rebound trickled behind the net. Tyler Lundey quickly grabbed the puck, turned toward the right post and shoved it under Peterson's left pad.

The goal resulted from an extended period of puck possession by the Buckeyes and tired Wisconsin defenders.

Brad Navin brought the Badgers back 3:15 into the third period, though.

Late in a power play, Joseph LaBate passed to Navin on the left side of the net. The UW captain shot into Ohio State netminder Christian Frey's pad, but lifted the rebound top shelf to tie the score.

Wisconsin went 1-for-4 with the man advantage, while OSU was unsuccessful in three tries.

Just over six minutes later Matthew Weis put the Buckeyes back on top.

Nick Schilkey carried the puck into the UW zone and passed behind him to a trailing Weis who beat Peterson with a wrister.

Navin and LaBate teamed up for another game-tying tally minutes later.

LaBate patiently held the puck along the Buckeyes' goal line as an OSU defender slid by him. With a wide-open lane to the net, the Eagan, Minnesota, native slid a pass to Navin who shot the puck low, left side past Frey, finishing off his first career two-goal performance.

The goals snapped a 28-game scoreless streak for Navin and marked his second and third of the season. It also marked UW's sixth multi-goal performance of 2014-15.

Peterson kept the Badgers in the contest all night, but was especially stellar late in the third.

His biggest save of the night was a breakaway stop with under two minutes to play.

OSU dominated the first few minutes of the overtime period, but a perfect pass by Adam Rockwood swung the momentum back to Wisconsin.

The freshman split two Buckeyes defenders with a feed to LaBate, which sent the forward on a breakaway. He deked right to left, but Frey's glove prevented LaBate from scoring a backhander.

In the shootout, Zulinick, LaBate and Cameron Hughes scored for the Badgers and Peterson made six stops. Clark Cristofoli scored in the 10th round to earn his team an extra conference point.

Peterson made 32 saves in the loss, while Frey had 22.

The teams wrap up the regular season with a 6 p.m. Saturday game, which will appear on BTN.
