How to watch Penn State vs. Ohio State in Big Ten hockey semifinal
Following a quarterfinal round sweep of Michigan, the Penn State men's ice hockey team is heading to Columbus to play for a spot in the Big Ten championship game. All that stands in the way on Saturday night is No. 3 seed Ohio State. As Penn State swept a best-of-three series last weekend in Ann Arbor, Ohio State came out on top of a three-game series against Wisconsin by winning the second and third games.
Penn State comes into the Big Ten semifinal with the nation's no. 11 ranking, and Ohio State is no. 10. The winner of Saturday night's single elimination semifinal will advance to face either Michigan State in East Lansing or host Notre Dame on March 22. Michigan State will host Notre Dame in the first game of the day, so the destination and matchup for the winner will be known ahead of time.
Penn State lost both games it played in Columbus during the regular season with a 4-0 and 4-2 setback in early December. Penn State returned the favor with a pair of overtime victories against the Buckeyes in January. Penn State won a shootout in a 6-6 game in the first of two games in the Pegula Ice Arena and followed that up with a 3-2 overtime win the next day against the top-10 Buckeyes. Penn State has lost just two games since then.
Here is how to watch the 2025 Big Ten hockey semifinal matchup between the Nittany Lions and Buckeyes.

Playing for a spot in the NCAA Hockey Tournament
The NCAA men's hockey tournament will seed 16 teams for this year's national championship tournament. Both Penn State and Ohio State may be sitting in good spots as far as the rankings are concerned, but a win in the semifinal could be a major boost toward solidifying a spot in this year's NCAA tournament.
The Big Ten champion will receive an automatic seed in the tournament, however, so the stakes are high this weekend with a spot in the Big Ten championship game on the line.
