Penn State Men’s Hockey Moves Up One Spot In Latest USCHO Rankings
Penn State men’s hockey moved up one spot to No. 8 in this week’s USCHO Poll.
The move to No. 8 comes after the Nittany Lions split their series with Ohio State in Columbus over the weekend. Guy Gadowsky’s team picked up a vital 4-3 game-one win thanks to a late goal from Kevin Wall. However, Penn State once again couldn’t complete the sweep, falling 4-2 the following night.
Both the Nittany Lions and Buckeyes were deadlocked in second place in the Big Ten heading into the weekend with 27 points each. Now, though, the two teams are in a four-way tie for second place alongside Michigan and Michigan State, all currently with 30 points.
Also ranked in the Big Ten are No. 1 Minnesota, No. 5 Michigan, No. 7 Ohio State, and No. 15 Michigan State.
Penn State has a bye week this week, but four games remain on the regular-season schedule. This starts with a huge home series against Minnesota on February 17 and 18, and the Nittany Lions will close out their regular season at home against Wisconsin on February 24 and 25.
