Penn State’s defense played great but the opposing team was better tonight. Michigan State goalie John Lethemon played one of the best games in net that has ever been turned in at the Pegula Ice Arena.
Lethemon set his career high with 48 saves, many of them extraordinary, to keep the high-scoring Lions off the board. Michigan State’s defense came with a solid gameplan and executed it well enough for the win.
A goal by Patrick Khodorenko after a strange bounce off the boards was all that Michigan State needed to beat the sixth-ranked Lions at home.
