Gavin McKenna won’t win a Big Ten title in his first — and perhaps only — season at Penn State.

The 10th-ranked Nittany Lions lost 5-2 to the top-ranked Michigan Wolverines in a Big Ten men’s hockey semifinal on Saturday in Ann Arbor, Mich.

McKenna, in a battle to be the No. 1 pick in this year’s NHL Draft, scored one goal to extend his point streak to nine games. He has 19 points during that stretch.

Despite the loss, Penn State is guaranteed an at-large spot in the 16-team NCAA national championship tournament later this month.

Garrett Schifsky scored two goals for Michigan.

HOCKEY EAST QUARTERFINALS

A disappointing season for the Terriers ended with a road loss to UConn.

2026 NHL Draft lottery prospect Tynan Lawrence, who joined Boston mid-season from the USHL, led the Terriers with one goal and one assist.

All eyes will now turn to Boston high picks like Cole Eiserman (New York Islanders), Sacha Boisvert (Chicago Blackhawks) and Cole Hutson (Washington Capitals) to see if they sign with their respective NHL teams.

UConn, ranked 14th nationally, remains in the running for an at-large bid for the 16-team NCAA tournament, but likely needs at least one more win in the Hockey East final four next week in Boston.

San Jose Sharks pick Joey Muldowney and Jake Percival each had a goal and an assist for the Huskies.

Chicago Blackhawks first-round pick Vaclav Nestrasil had a goal and two assists to lead UMass to victory.

Arizona Coyotes second-round pick Michael Hrabel made 30 saves for UMass.

Like UConn, the No. 15 Minutemen are in the running for an at-large NCAA spot.

Unranked Clarkson completed a stunning two-game sweep of national No. 7 Quinnipiac by rallying from a 3-1 deficit with three goals in 2:01 in the third period on Saturday.

Quinnipiac, led by Calgary Flames prospect Ethan Wyttenbach, is still guaranteed a spot in the national championship tournament.

But Clarkson can be a bid-stealer and eliminate an at-large spot if it wins the conference.
