Ohio State is coming off a series with Louisville, which it split one win apiece. As a team, they are averaging just over 3 goals a game this season. However, opposing teams are averaging nearly 4.5 points per game.
Players to Watch:
Look for the Bobcats’ leaders in points — Forward Nikalas Jozefiak and Defenseman Ethan Tamborski — to capitalize on any opportunities the Buckeyes give them. On the other side, the Bobcats will have to look out for Sam Gaffney’s goal-scoring abilities, as well as goalie Thomas Wesolowski, who will be working to keep Ohio off the scoreboard.
The two games this weekend may prove to be a strong test for Ohio as it nears the end of the season, but if it remains active on offense, it has a chance to come out with two impressive wins.
