I'd have to go back and check the box score to see exactly how many it was, but
late in the second period this Saturday, Wisconsin received a long string of
successive penalties against Minnesota.  It was at least three, and maybe
four.  The Gophers scored the tying and winning goals during the ensuing power
plays.
