Wisconsin won the first game of the nascent campaign by blanking host Notre Dame, 2-0, on Friday in Big Ten play before completing the two-step sweep with a 5-3 victory on Saturday in South Bend, Ind. Also on Friday, Bowling Green began its schedule with a 6-2 triumph over NCAA Division III opponent Adrian (Mich.).
No. 12 Michigan proved inhospitable to No. 15 Arizona State, which began a three-week road trip with 8-1 and 3-0 losses to the host Wolverines on Friday and Saturday in Ann Arbor, Mich. The NCAA Division I independent Sun Devils, who are playing as part of the Big Ten this season, will skate at Michigan State this weekend.
LIU's game at Army on Saturday, its first scheduled appearance as an NCAA program, was postponed due to COVID-19 concerns. It is not known if that contest will be rescheduled.
The women's NCAA game is expected to get underway this weekend, in both Hockey East and the WCHA. The Ivy League has canceled all 2020-21 winter sports due to COVID-19, including men's and women's ice hockey. RIT has also opted out of playing this winter, as has Rensselaer, along Alaska Anchorage on the men's hockey side in what might be the swan song for the Seawolves program after 40 years.
