The Gophers men's hockey team will open Big Ten play against Penn State on Friday night without its top returning scorer, as Tyler Sheehy is "week-to-week" with an unspecified injury, the team announced.

Sheehy, a junior from Burnsville, is the team's captain and was a first team All-American last season with a team-high 53 points.
Last weekend, Sheehy opened the season at right wing on a line with center Tommy Novak and left wing Leon Bristedt. Freshman Brannon McManus will take over at right wing on that line Friday.
Penn State (1-1) defeated the Gophers 4-3 in double overtime in last season's Big Ten Tournament semifinals.
Niko Medved could be the next Gophers men’s basketball coach after making his third NCAA tournament in four seasons with Colorado State.
