Penn State hockey feeling sense of ‘urgency’ heading into weekend series against Michigan

A hockey goalie thrives thanks to a short memory and a strong dose of confidence, and Penn State’s Peyton Jones has those in abundance.

He and his teammates need those and more this weekend. After three consecutive losses when the team surrendered 16 goals, the Nittany Lions need a victory soon.

Penn State might not be in panic mode entering its series against Michigan, but the team’s position at the bottom of the Big Ten standings certainly impacts its outlook.
