Penn State men’s hockey forward Reese Laubach was named the Big Ten Third Star of the Week after his performances against No. 8 Ohio State.

Laubach assisted two goals in the Nittany Lions’ thrilling 6-6 shootout win over the Buckeyes on Friday. The following night, Laubach assisted senior Danny Dzhaniyev to give Penn State an early 1-0 lead.

The game went into overtime and with three minutes and 26 seconds left on the clock, Laubach scored the game-winning goal in front of a record-setting crowd of 6,604 in the Pegula Ice Arena.

The San Jose native missed the previous four games with an injury before returning this weekend and now stands tied for second on the team with 19 points in 20 games.

The Nittany Lions return to action this weekend with a trip to Ann Arbor to battle the No. 13 Michigan on Friday and Saturday evening.
