There was a lot that could happen this past weekend to shuffle the order of the teams in the Big Ten men’s ice hockey tournament, but we finally know where Ohio State will slot in.
And while the Buckeyes ran into a pretty stiff challenge on the road against No. 1 Minnesota, dropping both games over the weekend, they still earned a No. 3 seed and home ice for the first round of the tournament. Minnesota grabbed the No. 1 seed and Michigan the No. 2 seed.
