Maine hockey and Penn State will battle in the Allentown Regional semifinals, the last game of the 2025 NCAA Hockey Tournament’s first round.
These teams had different journeys to reach this point, with Maine receiving an automatic bid by winning the Hockey East conference and Penn State getting into the tournament with an at-large bid after what many believe comes from a strong second half of the season.
Penn State also has two top NHL prospect forwards who have spearheaded the team’s success: Nashville Predators’ Aiden Fink, who has 52 points coming into this matchup, good for third in the country, and San Jose Sharks’ Reese Laubach, who has scored 15 goals this season.
Maine has a top NHL prospect, Colorado Avalanche, Taylor Makar, who is tied for the most goals scored on the team, and Harrison Scott. The Black Bears have also been the most clutch team in the NCAA, with six game-winning goals this season,
Whoever wins this game advances to the Allentown Regional Finals for a contest with UConn or Quinnipiac.
Penn State vs. Maine hockey will be live on ESPN2 at 8:30 p.m. ET on Friday, March 28.
