Although a day early, Penn State feasted on the power play.Behind a duo of goals on the man-advantage, the Nittany Lions defeated Alaska Fairbanks on Wednesday 2-1 for their first series sweep since their tilt with Wisconsin in late October.To start the opening period, it seemed the same blue and white unit that almost allowed Alaska Fairbanks to mount a comeback in Game 1 on Tuesday was out on the ice for the series finale.For much of the frame the Nanooks smothered the Nittany Lions, containing the home team in its own zone and holding its backs against the wall.
