Penn State men's hockey gives away golden chances, splits series with Ohio State

Penn State caught the same fish twice without casting its line consecutively — a truly remarkable feat in fishing, let alone college hockey.

The Nittany Lions dropped Saturday’s contest 5-1 to Ohio State despite outshooting the Buckeyes 34-30.

The blowout loss capped off a series that eerily resembled the Lions' series versus Minnesota two weeks ago that saw the Lions win Friday’s matchup 3-2 in overtime and get outworked on Saturday.

Without Curtis Loik out of the lineup for an undisclosed reason, missing his first game in 71 appearances, the Lions’ physicality on the forecheck was hampered early.
