Penn State men's hockey drops series opener at Michigan State

Michigan State pulls ahead of Penn State in the Big Ten standings after a dominating performance.

It was a two man show for Michigan State on Friday.

Stellar goaltending from John Lethemon and a hat trick from Patrick Khodorenko helped the Spartans top the Nittany Lions 4-2 in East Lansing.

Michigan State came out flying in the first period outshooting Penn State 15-6 after one frame of play.

Khodorenko opened the scoring off a one-timer to give the Spartans an 1-0 advantage.

Michigan State looked fast in contrast to an uninspired Penn State team.
