Penn State at No. 3 Notre DameDrew: Penn State has already notched a win against a ranked opponent and gotten its first road win of the season, but its most difficult nonconfernce test will be this weekend. Notre Dame split with highly-ranked Minnesota-Duluth on the road last weekend. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Nittany Lions stole one this weekend, but I’m picking an Irish sweep.Paula: I see this series exactly the same way — and not because of the Nittany Lions, but because of the much-improved Fighting Irish. These teams met last season, splitting a pair of games mid-October games in Pegula Ice Arena in which the teams combined for 19 total goals. I can see Penn State winning one of these, too, but I’m not calling it that way.Drew’s picks: Notre Dame 4-3, 5-2.Paula’s picks: Notre Dame 3-2, 4-2.
