Buckeyes in a Nutshell

Ohio State returns to play after a bye weekend last week. The team was originally scheduled to play at Wisconsin, but the series was moved to Jan. 2-4 to allow the teams to play in the Frozen Confines: Big Ten Hockey Series.
The Buckeyes currently sit at second in the WCHA standings with 53 points with two games of the regular season remaining. They are two points ahead of Minnesota. Wisconsin (71), Ohio State, Minnesota (51) and Minnesota Duluth (48) have secured home ice for the WCHA First Round next week.

Jocelyn Amos has scored a team-high 21 goals on the year. She is the first player on the team to 20 goals this season and ranks sixth nationally in goals per game (.66).
Amos paces the WCHA with eight power play goals this season. The sophomore is eighth nationally in the category and 15 of her career-high 40 points have come on the power play.
Seventeen of the team's 18 skaters, and two of four goalies, have recorded a point this year. Sixteen of the 17 have recorded a goal. The Buckeyes are second in the country with 3.84 goals per game.
The team has four players - Dunne, Amos, Jenna Buglioni (37) and Kiara Zanon (32) - who have hit the 30-point mark this year.
Ohio State's power play ranks eighth in the country with a .258 conversion rate. In the last month, the team has seen improved success on the player-advantage, converting at a rate of .368 in the last 28 days to rank first nationally.
The Buckeyes only allow their opponents 18.53 shots per game. Riley Brengman leads the team with 33 blocked shots with Emma Peschel second with 31.
Graduate goaltender Amanda Thiele leads the goaltending unit with 20 starts in 21 games played this season for Ohio State. She has a 14-5-2 record on the year and has earned a .890 save percentage.

Freshman defender Mira Jungåker returns to collegiate competition this weekend after helping Sweden qualify for the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games earlier this month. Joined on the team by incoming Buckeyes Jenna Raunio and Hilda Svenson, Jungåker helped Sweden to wins over Norway (3-0), the Netherlands (8-0) and Denmark (5-0) to earn a spot at next year's Olympics. The Olympic tournament field will consist of the United States, Canada, Sweden, Czechia, Finland, Switzerland and host Italy.
