USCHO: Pickin’ the Big Ten – Nov. 18-19  

Arizona State at No. 10 Penn State
Drew:
Penn State hasn’t had an extremely difficult schedule these past couple of weeks, but props to the Nittany Lions for taking care of business. I think that continues this weekend.

Paula: Good teams beat the teams they ought to beat, especially on such friendly home ice. PSU is 8-0-1 in its last nine games, including the last six consecutive games — all wins — in Pegula Arena. Last weekend, the Nittany Lions swept Alaska-Anchorage, 6-3 and 3-1. The Sun Devils took on two Hockey East teams and earned their second win of the season in a gritty 5-4 overtime game against New Hampshire before falling 3-1 to Boston College. These are the first meetings between these teams. Friday’s game begins at 7:00 p.m., Saturday’s at 3:00 p.m., and neither is televised.

Drew’s picks: Penn State 5-2, 4-1.
Paula’s picks: Penn State 4-2, 5-1.
