The Nittany Lions trailed 6-0 in the second
Michigan's No. 2 hockey team secured a dominant 8-3 victory over No. 2-ranked Penn State in a brutal display of power play dominance. The Wolverines capitalized on seven power play opportunities, outscoring the Nittany Lions with a 7-3 tally on the power play. Michigan led 6-1 at halftime, then extended their lead to 6-0 by the second intermission.
In the third period, Michigan widened the gap to a whopping 8-2, with Malcolm Spence scoring the game-winning goal.
