Hockey East Friday Recap

No. 3 Boston College 3, at No. 15 BU 2
BOSTON, MA - Brian Dumoulin continued his strong second half, scoring the game-winner late in the first period before BU even tallied its first goal. Chris Connolly tallied assists on both BU goals to become the only multi-point player on the night, but it wasn’t enough as John Muse turned away 30 shots - including all 14 in the third period - to record his 14th win on the season and keep the Eagles in first place.

at No. 7 UNH 4, Providence 3 (OT)
DURHAM, NH - The Wildcats struggled to keep five men on the ice, giving up two first-period power play goals and a third on Providence’s seventh shot of the game before Matt DiGirolamo closed the door and UNH came from behind again to upend the Friars, who haven’t won a Hockey East game in nearly two months. Paul Thompson scored the game-winner with 48 seconds remaining in overtime after Jeff Silengo tied it up with just over five-and-a-half minutes to play in the third.

Lowell 6, at No. 13 Merrimack 4
ANDOVER, MA - Blaise MacDonald’s crew ended a school record 13-game losing streak on the strength of an eight-point (3-5) night from its top line, handing the Warriors their first loss in nearly two months. Doug Carr stopped 25 of 29 Merrimack shots, while Joe Cannata allowed a season-high five goals. Five RiverHawks had multiple-point nights, and Stephane da Costa and David Vallorani each had two goals and an assist.

at Vermont 2, UMass 1
BURLINGTON, VT - UMass’ high hopes after a weekend sweep of Lowell were quickly dashed as the Cats scored twice in the first period and held on the rest of the way to notch their second win in three games. Rob Madore continued his strong play in net, stopping 27 of 28 shots he faced and Jack Downing scored the game-winner for Vermont, who got assists on both goals from Dan Lawson and Sebastian Stalberg.
