Notre Dame welcomes Penn State to open Big Ten home campaign

·

This weekend, the sixth-ranked Irish will play host to the nineteenth-ranked Nittany Lions of Penn State at Compton Family Ice Arena. Penn State (5-5-0, 2-2-0 Big Ten) are coming off splitting a home series with Mercyhurst and will look to challenge the Irish (6-3-1, 2-0-0), who are coming off of a sweep of Ohio State in their first Big Ten series. Coach Jeff Jackson said he thought that the Irish played their best hockey of the season against the Buckeyes.
