Penn State Falls to Wisconsin in Overtime

No. 18 Penn State men's hockey suffered a narrow 5-4 overtime defeat against Wisconsin, marking their third consecutive loss in Big Ten play. The game featured a dramatic finish, with Penn State's Danny Dzhaniyev scoring with just 50 seconds left in regulation to force overtime, but ultimately they fell short. Wisconsin's Ryland Mosley opened the scoring early in the first period, and despite being outmatched physically, the Badgers capitalized on their opportunities. Penn State's power play showed potential, with Aiden Fink tying the game at one, but they struggled to maintain consistent scoring throughout the match. The Nittany Lions came into the game after a bye week and were looking to regain momentum against a struggling Wisconsin team. This matchup was part of a promotional weekend for Penn State, featuring throwback jerseys and community events like the Teddy Bear Toss for THON.
