So much for Penn State’s struggles coming out of winter break.
The No. 14 Nittany Lion men’s hockey team needed fewer than two minutes to jump in front and put away No. 15 Wisconsin 5-1 Friday night at Pegula Ice Arena.
Nate Sucese remained red-hot with his first career hat trick as Penn State (12-7-2, 5-4-2-1) extended its unbeaten streak to nine games. The team has netted 46 goals during that span.
It was the first game in 26 days for both teams, but the Nittany Lions were much sharper. They had won their first game of January only once in their previous five seasons.
