Penn St is fighting for its NCAA life. They are 9-1-3 (all 3 ties were won in the shootout) in their last 13. They are 1 point behind Michigan for the last home ice spot in B1G playoffs. Fink leads the team with 45 points ( 23 g & 22 a ). Sergeev is 14-6-3 with a 2.50 GAA and .920 SV% with 4 shutouts.
Mn swept them at Mariucci this year and were 4-1 against them last year.
Both games will be on BTN this weekend.

PSU a very different beast now versus early in the year and they're going to be amped up trying to clinch a spot in the NCAAs as well as home ice in the 1st round. One of the games at home was the game Souliere stole with Clark scoring late in a game we looked like crap in for most of it and had 6 shots through 2 periods. Can't have any sloppy periods.
Think PSU is actually a more dangerous team than OSU with their top end guys and team speed. Excited for this weekend
The Gophers need to somehow focus a bit more on defense after they score. They seem to have a tendency of giving up goals right after scoring. I think they have allowed a goal within the first minute or two after scoring multiple times.

No kidding.. this has drove me nuts. They have been very fortunate not to give up a goal directly after about 4 different times now recently.
I heard PSU is flying out @thomps to help with the shot counter for the 2 game series.
Keep your stick on the ice...
