There were no dramatic comebacks this time for the Penn State hockey team.

The No. 15 Nittany Lions posted their fourth straight weekend split with a 5-2 loss to Michigan on Saturday at Pegula Ice Arena.

Tony Calderone had two goals and one assist to lead the Wolverines (4-2, 1-1 Big Ten). Brendan Warren, Dexter Dancs and Nick Pastujov also had goals.

Nate Sucese and Nikita Pavlychev converted for Penn State (4-4, 2-2), which scored with 1:32 left in regulation and won in the first minute of overtime Friday.

“It was a tough loss last night to give up a lead late and then lose in overtime,” Michigan coach Mel Pearson said.
