For the fourth consecutive season, Ryan McDonagh Wisconsin will have to replace the team’s leading scorer, though this time a defenseman, Jamie McBain, is the one who needs replacing. A bevy of talented forwards should prove up to the task. By the end of the 2008-09 campaign, freshman started showing abilities at or above the level of any rookie in the country and finished second among Badger scorers. With his work ethic, the sky is the limit. The duo of seniors and John Mitchell will look to reprise their goal-scoring roles, with both chipping in 15 to lead the Badgers last season. Goal scoring will also surely come from puck-handling wizard Michael Davies, as he looks to add to his Badger legacy, and Andy Bohmbach, who emerged last year as a double-digit goal scorer. Good news for the Badgers also comes in the form of tri-captain Ben Street, who will rejoin the Badgers for his second senior season after the first went haywire early on after a knee injury. Street has posted at least 10 goals in each of his first three full seasons. In the scoring mix should also be sophomore Jordy Murray, who capped his first year as a Badger with all-tournament accolades at the WCHA Final Five. His eight goals last year show promise of double-digit goal scoring years in the future. Junior Patrick Johnson has an eight-goal season in his past and could get to double-figures in his career.
