This weekend, No. 7 Penn State will play two different opponents in two days for the first time this season.
As part of the inaugural “Turkey Leg Classic,” a four-team nonconference tournament, the Nittany Lions will play at Merrimack on Friday night and at No. 15 UMass Lowell on Saturday night.
Puck drop is set for 7 p.m. on Friday and 6 p.m. Saturday.
Penn State’s contest with the Warriors will mark the first-ever meeting between the two sides. There is some familiarity between the two teams, however, as current Nittany Lions defenseman Evan Bell played at Merrimack in 2017-18 before transferring to Happy Valley prior to last season.
