Mike Hastings' second season with the Badgers got off to a sour start. How the Badgers react to the adversity will be telling.

Jaeden Mercier scored two goals for Lindenwood (2-0-0), including the first of the contest on the power play 11 minutes, 51 seconds into the first period. Gavin Morrissey answered with a power-play goal of his own 3 minutes, 51 seconds later, but then Lindenwood broke it open.

Well, that was a disappointing home opener. Lindenwood upset the ninth-ranked Wisconsin Badgers hockey team at the Kohl Center, 4-2. This game is, without question, the biggest win in the Lions’ brief Division I hockey program history.
