In the regular season, the Nittany Lions won three out of four matchups against the Tigers. In the first game of their three-game playoff series the Lions easily handled the Tigers in a 2-0 win and are now on the verge of sending them home in the first round of the playoffs.
Being conference rivals in College Hockey America, the Lions and Tigers know each other well as the teams have squared off four times a year for the past few of years.
