Michigan (16-10-0, 8-4-0 B1G) vs. Ohio State (8-16-2, 3-9-0 B1G): Feb. 20 at 7 p.m.; Feb. 22 at 5 p.m.
The Gophers are coming off possibly their best stretch of the season after sweeping Michigan and limiting the Wolverine offense. The Gophers are now on a four-game winning streak, and have won five of the last six (although one series was against Ohio State and another against Wisconsin.)
Penn State has had some interesting weekends in the second half of the season. They were swept by a surging Michigan State team last weekend, buthave still won six of their last 10.
The Nittany Lions might not have Michigans offense, but theyre pretty close and are known for taking a lot of shots on net. This should be a good test for both teams, to see if Minnesota can stay consistent and to show just how good Penn State is.
With the way the standings are currently, this is a battle between some of the top teams in the conference. Minnesota wins the goaltending battle, though, as Adam Wilcox has been steady in net for the Gophers.
