Penn State has been growing desperate for a conference win. Entering Saturday with just three wins in Big Ten play, the Nittany Lions found themselves with a lead entering the third period against the No. 4 team in the nation.
But a night after having a comeback attempt fall a goal short, the Wolverines showed the Nittany Lions why they are the No. 4 team in the nation, rallying from a two-goal deficit to beat the Nittany Lions 4-3.
Special teams struggles once again plagued the Nittany Lions. They went 0-for-3 with the man advantage, including another five-minute power play after Jack Summers was ejected for a high hit on Danny Dzhaniyev.
