Two hundred seventy-one days removed from its last game, Penn State will finally take the ice again this week.
No. 9 Penn State travels to No. 18 Minnesota’s home ice for a two-game series with the Golden Gophers on Thursday and Friday at 8:30 p.m. and 4 p.m., respectively.
Minnesota opens its 100th season in program history as the coaches’ pick to win the Big Ten.
Junior forward and alternate captain Aarne Talvitie expects some difficult matchups this week against the Golden Gophers, yet has faith in his young team’s abilities.
“It’s gonna be tough against Minnesota,” Talvitie said.
