There weren’t any crybaby gestures, outlandish hits or NCAA Tournament berths on the line this time around, but Penn State still got the job done.
The Nittany Lions defeated Minnesota for the fifth straight time dating back to last March, topping the Gophers 4-2 on the road behind a spectacular goal from Brandon Biro, Kevin Kerr’s first goal of the year, a third period tally from Denis Smirnov and an empty-netter from Alex Limoges.
Peyton Jones, meanwhile, made 30 saves in net in one of his better outings of the year, while Ludvig Larsson added two assists.
