The Minnesota Golden Gophers hockey team jumps back into the first of eight straight weeks of Big Ten play when they host #9 Penn State Nittany Lions at Mariucci Arena this weekend. The Gophers will look to keep pace in the Big Ten conference where they currently sit in fourth place with 12 points—one ahead of their opponents this weekend. But it will not be easy against the #1 offense in the nation that the Nittany Lions will bring to town.
The Gophers are coming off of a split at home against Ferris State last weekend.
