Wisconsin has not allowed a goal in the last 328 minutes and 13 seconds of NCAA tournament play. That includes 127:09 against Harvard on Saturday, 60 minutes against both St. Lawrence and Minnesota at the 2006 Frozen Four and 81:04 against Mercyhurst in the 2006 NCAA quarterfinal.
Of that 328:13 streak, sophomore Jessie Vetter has been in net for all but eight seconds. Vetter was pulled briefly for an extra attacker on a delayed penalty in the third overtime against Harvard.
Vetter enters the Frozen Four with a personal shutout streak of 354 minutes and 9 seconds which includes four straight shutouts.
In playoff games, Vetter has not allowed a goal in 448 minutes and 5 seconds, or nearly 7.5 hours. That total includes five straight playoff shutouts dating back to last season.
The Badgers have continued to improve as the season has passed. In 19 games since Jan. 1, Wisconsin has out-scored its opponents 73-9 while posting 12 shutouts. In their last 51 games, the Badgers are 46-1-4 for a winning percentage of .941.
The Badgers have allowed just 35 goals in 39 games this season, an average of 0.90 goals against per game. The NCAA record for fewest goals allowed per game is 1.14 by both Mercyhurst in 2004-05 and New Hampshire in 2005-06.
If Wisconsin wins, they will play the winner of the Boston College - Minnesota-Duluth on Sunday at noon.
