DETROIT - After a dominant 4-1 victory over Michigan Thursday night, Penn State men's hockey defeated Minnesota in a double overtime thriller, 4-3, securing a spot in the Big Ten Championship finals.
"I thought everybody played great, really hard," head coach Guy Gadowsky said. "Very, very happy to be playing here tomorrow. It was a big win for the program, not only for the Big Ten but also I believe it solidified going to the NCAA Tournament."
Right from puck drop, the Nittany Lions were off and running with Penn State looking to advance to the finals on Saturday night.
