The Big Ten enters another week of conference play, with Michigan at the top of the conference. Its series with Minnesota is the marquee matchup of this week, featuring two of the Big Tens top teams. The Gophers swept Ohio State last weekend, but haven’t earned a quality win against a good team in a long time.

<strong>Michigan State (10-12-2, 4-4-2 B1G) vs. Penn State (15-7-4, 7-2-1 B1G): Feb. 13 at 7:05 p.m.; Feb. 14 at 6 p.m.</strong>

The Spartans and Nittany Lions have a habit of playing in close games. This season, they skated to a 2-2 tie before Penn State won 5-2. The Nittany Lions are unbeaten in their last eight, while theSpartans have won three of the last four.
