Peyton Jones has a habit of delivering his best performances when Penn State has to have them.
He did so against Minnesota last weekend, and the Big Ten took notice, naming him the conference's second star of the week.
Jones experienced two very different challenges throughout the series, but achieved similar results.
His Friday workload was light. He faced only 15 shots, saving 14 of them as the Nittany Lions blew the Gophers out, 5-1.
Saturday was a different scenario. The Minnesota offense came awake, firing 40 shots in Jones' direction. The netminder made 38 saves, spurring his team to yet another crucial victory.
