Notre Dame Hockey: Irish Win a Thriller in Hockey Valley

After a season in which they suffered a huge upset then responded with a 5-0 thrashing of the Niagara Purple Eagles, the no. 16 Notre Dame Fighting Irish headed to the Keystone State on Friday to take on the no. 20 Penn State Nittany Lions. The game was the first Big Ten matchup of 2022 for both schools.

First Period

The first man advantage of the evening went to the Nittany Lions when Zach Plucinski was called for tripping. Penn State came into the contest scoreless in its last ten power-play attempts, and the trend continued as Ryan Bischel made three saves to keep the game scoreless.
