LAS VEGAS — Five numbers to know from Thursday’s 2-1 win by Wisconsin over North Dakota in the national semifinal.
.739
With today’s win, Wisconsin is now 17-6 all-time in Frozen Four play, the best of any program here in Vegas. That’s .739 if you do the math.
2
While they like to say “correlation is not causation,” North Dakota only won twice this season when trailing into the third and was 2-6-1 overall. Wisconsin is now 18-3-0 when leading at the second intermission.
5
This was Wisconsin’s fifth win over a No. 2 or higher team this season. The Badgers also downed then-No. 2 Michigan twice, and then-No. 1 Michigan State twice.
21
Daniel Hauser tied the Wisconsin record for wins by a freshman at 21 in the win. He shares it with Curtis Joseph (1988-89) and Dean Anderson (1984-85).
37
Despite averaging 23.5 shots on goal against this season, North Dakota tied its season high of 37 against the Badgers on Thursday. The Fighting Hawks won a 4-2 game at St. Cloud on Dec. 6, 2025 despite allowing the same total.
