The home stretch of the season is crucial as teams prepare to start a postseason run. Those meaningful games began weeks ago for Penn State, as it battles for seeding in the Big Ten Tournament.
The 5-7-2 Nittany Lions have two games left of regular season play. Both contests are against Big Ten opponents, with the first matchup being at home against 6-5-2 Wisconsin.
To secure its spot in the Big Ten tournament, the blue and white needs to get out on top of this matchup, starting in the defensive zone.
Penn State ranks dead last in the Big Ten with 27 goals allowed, which ranks 177th out of 205 Division I teams.
