Nittany Lions to Appear Twice on NBCSN

Penn State and Michigan State will battle on NBC Sports Network January 18, 2014

NBC Sports Network, the channel best known as home base for NHL coverage in the U.S., will pick up college hockey games for a second season in 2013-2014 - helping Penn State add a pair of nationally-televised games in the process.

The first, somewhat surprisingly: the Nittany Lions' trip to Michigan State on Saturday, January 18th, 2014, the back half of a series that will see Friday's game televised by Big Ten Network. The second is a bit more expected, the March 1st, 2014 matchup at Minnesota that accidentally leaked last month when the Big Ten announced the bulk of its TV schedule, including (at the time) ten national appearances for Guy Gadowsky's squad.

Puck drop for the January 18th telecast has been set at 6:30 p.m. ET, while March 1st is still listed as "TBA."

In all, NBCSN will televise five games involving Big Ten teams, with a December 13th contest between Colorado College and Wisconsin leading things off.
