The WIAA hockey playoffs are less than three weeks away.
And Middleton is picking the perfect time to play some of its best hockey of the season.
The Cardinals stretched their winning streak to six games last week with a pair of impressive road wins.
Middleton defeated Monona Grove, 6-3, on Friday. The Cardinals then turned around and toppled Janesville, 2-1, in overtime last Saturday.
Middleton improved to 12-3 overall and is second in the Big Eight Conference at 8-2.
“The weekend went well,” Middleton coach Steve Libert said. “Friday night we played with energy and really pushed the pace of the game. Saturday we came out a bit listless, but as the game went on, we got better and better.”
Middleton got two goals and an assist from Danny Klagos in its win over Monona Grove. Clayton Brown had a goal and two assists, Jake Bunz and Taylor Dickert both had a goal and an assist, while Jordan Hylbert had a goal.
