In Penn State’s first game action this season, it was the goaltenders — not the Nittany Lions’ high-flying offense — that made the biggest impact.
Penn State faced off against Ottawa on Sunday, winning the exhibition contest 5-0. It is the Nittany Lions’ first shutout in any game since December 2017 when they blanked Ohio State.
Both Peyton Jones and Oskar Autio spent roughly 30 minutes minding the net on Sunday, shutting the door on each Gee-Gee attack. The two combined for 25 saves, most of which came in the second and third periods.
“I thought both played very well,” coach Guy Gadowsky said.
