UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Penn State men's hockey lost a hard-fought 4-3 overtime battle against Ottawa in an exhibition game Sunday at Pegula Ice Arena. Although an early exhibition, the outing proved to be a productive benchmark for what's ahead for the Nittany Lions.
All three of the Nittany Lion goals were scored on power play opportunities, the first coming from freshman defenseman Cole Hults' stick in the second period. Sophomore forwards Denis Smirnov and Brandon Biro also respectively contributed goals in the third period.
Penn State went 3-7 overall on the power play, while Ottawa only went 1-2.
