Prediction
The Wolverines and Nittany Lions have met three times so far this season, with Michigan leading the series three games to one. Penn State won the first meeting of the season 3-0 in Happy Valley, and the Wolverines won the final three games (4-3 in overtime at PSU, 7-3 at UM, and 5-4 at UM). Both of these teams can score in bunches, but when it comes down to it, Michigan has more firepower and they will advance to the Frozen Four.
