If you had both a social media account and any sort of interest in the world of hockey, chances are you heard about Penn State freshman JJ Wiebusch’s standout performance Friday night.
Wiebusch’s red-hot weekend continued on Saturday in Game 2 of the Big Ten Quarterfinals, leading the Nittany Lions to a 5-2 win over Michigan to advance to the conference semifinals and all but seal the program’s fourth NCAA Tournament berth.
The forward’s noteworthy weekend started early in the third period in Game 1 against the Wolverines, notching the fourth and fifth goals for Penn State just over two minutes apart to pull the team in front by two goals.
