Having Notre Dame as a regular conference opponent has opened up new opportunities for the University of Wisconsin men's hockey team.

One of them might be neutral-site games in Chicago.

UW and Notre Dame are working on a plan to move the second game of the teams' January series from South Bend, Indiana, to the United Center in Chicago, according to sources.

The Badgers and the Fighting Irish were scheduled to play on Friday, Jan. 19 and Saturday, Jan. 20 at Notre Dame's Compton Family Ice Arena.

Notre Dame's NBCSN TV schedule, released Wednesday, showed the second game moved to 2 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 21. Sources said that game would move to the United Center, which has that date open on its calendar.

Part of the discussion, according to sources, has been another game at the United Center in the 2018-19 season, this time using one of the Badgers' home games.
