After a solid debut on the road last weekend, top NHL draft prospect Gavin McKenna will get his first chance to make his home debut for Penn State on Thursday evening. The No. 4 Nittany Lions host Clarkson for the first of two games going into the weekend, and the Pegula Center will be rocking to see McKenna get on the ice for the first time in Hockey Valley.
McKenna scored 1 goal and 2 assists in Penn State’s two-game sweep at Arizona State last weekend. His goal ended up being a game-winner in the second game of the opening series. While he will certainly be in the spotlight for Penn State, the Nittany Lions have a strong supporting staff to rely on as well. Matt DiMarsico led the team with 3 goals against the Sun Devils in the two-game sweep, and Charlie Cerrato picked up 2 goals and 4 assists. JJ Wiebusch and Aiden Fink each notched 4 total points in the weekend series out West as well.
Clarkson lost its first game of the season, 3-1, to Canisius. Clarkson is coming off a 24-12-3 season last year, ending with a loss to Cornell in the ECAC championship game last postseason. Penn State won the most recent meeting in the series with a 4-2 win in the 2023-24 regular season.
