Hockey East Saturday Recap

UMass 6 at Vermont 0
BURLINGTON, VT - TJ Syner assisted on Danny Hobbs’ goal to start off the scoring, then put two of his own past Rob Madore, who let in five goals before being lifted with five minutes left in the second period and the Cats down 5-0. Michael Pereira and Keven Czepiel also tallied for the Minutemen, who have won three of their last four games.
Paul Dainton stopped all 26 shots he saw to secure the victory for UMass.

at No. 3 Boston College 5, Lowell 3
CHESTNUT HILL, MA - Jimmy Hayes scored first and last for BC and Joe Whitney’s game-winner with four minutes remaining helped Boston College fight off a feisty Lowell squad that had leads at 1-0 and 2-1 early at Conte Forum. Brian Dumoulin assisted on three of BC’s four goals and the Eagles converted three power play chances to earn the win and climb to the top of the Hockey East standings with 26 points. Parker Milner saved 19 of 22 shots to earn the win.

No. 15 BU 2, at No. 7 UNH 1
DURHAM, NH - Greg Burke opened the scoring in the second period to give the Wildcats a lead, but BU responded with goals by Charlie Coyle and Ross Gaudet to take a lead and hold on the rest of the way. UNH’s usual stellar third period was nowhere to be found as Kieran Millan turned away 37 shots to earn BU its first conference win in three tries, and first win against a ranked team in its last seven such games.

at Northeastern 3, No. 10 Maine 3
BOSTON, MA - Wade MacLeod scored with 2:30 remaining to pull Northeastern even and the Huskies killed a hooking penalty to Steve Silva to skate to a tie with the Black Bears, who scored two power play goals in just under a minute in the second period to claw back from a 2-0 deficit. Tanner House scored twice for Maine, which has lost once in its last six games.
