Ben Schoen picked up the puck at center ice and methodically glided over the blue line. As he reached the hash marks between the two faceoff circles, he made a few quick moves to send Ohio State goalie Jakub Dobes’ mind spinning.
With an extra point in the Big Ten standings on the line, Schoen lifted a backhand shot over the scorpioned pad of the Buckeyes’ netminder, and kept Penn State’s momentum rolling.
Though the winning streak has technically come to end with the game ending in a 2-2 tie after overtime, Schoen’s tally lifted the Nittany Lions out of the basement of the Big Ten.
