No. 8 Penn State men's hockey routs Minnesota on the road thanks to strong second period

Penn State cruised past a perennially strong Minnesota team thanks to an onslaught of offense in the second period.

The Nittany Lions scored four in the frame, with Alex Limoges and Sam Sternshein each scoring twice as Penn State dominated in its 8-2 victory.

After a 9-0 shot advantage to open the game, the Nittany Lions were getting chances but nothing to show for them. Late in the period, Alex Limoges received a full-ice stretch pass, nearly leading to a breakaway goal, but was unable to beat goalie Jack LaFontaine.

The second period got off to a quick start for Penn State when Sterschein netted his fifth goal of the year from an Aarne Talvitie pass.
