Murray, who also scored a power-play goal in the second period to tie it 2-2, got the equalizer at 17:06 of the third period for the Badgers (6-2-2, 3-1-2), who had a much easier time winning Friday's series opener 6-0 on Friday.

Barriball has nine goals in 10 games.
Minnesota put 25 shots on Wisconsin goalie Brett Bennett, who made 22 saves. He stopped three shots in overtime. Bennett also was credited with an assist on Schultz's power-play goal that got the Badgers within one goal at 17:59 of the first period.
