Teddy bears weren’t the only thing raining down from the crowd on Saturday night, as the fans showered the ice with boos following yet another deflating performance by the No. 18 Nittany Lions.
Despite a packed house and a lively pregame atmosphere at Pegula Ice Arena, Penn State couldn’t overcome Wisconsin’s relentless early pressure, dropping their fourth straight game, 6-3.
Wisconsin's offensive blitz began just 40 seconds into the first period when forward Kyle Kukkonen rifled an unassisted shot from the blue line past Sergeev. Just minutes later, the Badgers struck again, with Quinn Finley capitalizing on a rebound to make it 2-0.
