Penn State came into winter break as one of the hottest teams in college hockey, having reeled off 11 straight wins. But the No. 2 Nittany Lions haven’t played since the first week of December and are in for a major test as they gear up for a marquee matchup with No. 11 Ohio State in Columbus.
Editor’s note: We chatted with Miles on Dec. 29, when Penn State and Ohio State were the two highest ranked Big Ten teams in the USCHO poll. No. 9 Minnesota has since jumped No. 11 Ohio State in the poll, though all three teams still remain at the top of the conference.
