Rensselaer hockey went 8-28-1 for the 2016-17 season. So of course they come in and tie your Ohio State men’s hockey team, 1-1. (I’m sure the OSU fans in attendance in Columbus, Ohio thoroughly enjoyed this one.)
Much like their cross town hockey bros, the Columbus Blue Jackets, who last season dined out on a higher than sustainable shooting percentage and save percentage, Ohio State had basically a zero percent chance of repeating their otherworldly shooting percentage of last season. Nick Schilkey shot 28.4 percent last season; that may have been cut by two-thirds if he had come back this season.
