- [Announcer] Good evening everyone
and welcome to Munn
Ice Arena on the campus
of Michigan State University.
Michigan State taking
on number nine ranked
Penn State in a battle for second place
and possibly the league
lead in the Big Ten
Hockey Conference here this evening.
When you look at Big Ten
play, Michigan State,
eight, five and one.
Penn State, eight, five and one.
The two teams met in early November,
each team with a win.
Rob, this is shaping up to
be a whale of a weekend.
- [Rob] This is a great opportunity for us
to take that step as far as getting
into the NCAA tournament, let alone
start climbing back up
into that first spot
in the Big Ten.
- [Announcer] And we are underway here
at Munn Ice Arena.
The cross ice pass for Sternschein,
got past him and here we
go back into the zone,
Khodorenko, shot, goal for Michigan State.
Patrick Khodorenko took the
quick pass from the far boards
by Geno Esteves and roofed it.
After Khodorenko's
career goal number 5, oh,
that is a highlight that
he will enjoy watching
as the years go by.
So, over the blue line,
drops it back to Evan Barratt
pocket pick by Cesana,
finds Khodorenko by himself.
Coming in down the middle,
shot, goal for Michigan State.
Patrick Khodorenko, so
nice he did it twice,
two nothing, Spartans.
12:28 to go in the third period
Putting the pressure on,
getting some good looks,
good shots on net.
Cole Krygier shot, goal.
Cole Krygier off of the
face-off took a pass at the top
of the left circle and
didn't wait, he buried it.
Three, One, Michigan State.
- [Rob] Talk about good
looks, and good shots on net.
Great patience, Scott.
- [Scott] Cross ice to Rosburg,
steps down to the circle
now back up to the high
slot, back to Rosburg.
Over to Khodorenko,
top of the left circle.
- [Rob] Hat Trick for Patrick
- [Scott] Third goal of
the night for Khodorenko,
make it four, one, Spartans.
- [Rob] How about that Scott,
the fans, they know it,
a couple hats. Hey, let's
add some more getting tossed
out onto the ice.
- [Scott] And this one
goes into the win column
for the Spartans.
The final score, Michigan State, four
Penn State, two.
Same two teams tomorrow night
with the season series on the line,
and possibly second place in the Big Ten.
