Hockey East Saturday Recap

@ New Hampshire 5, Providence 1
DURHAM, NH - Paul Thompson scored the game-winning goal and inched closer to his 100th career point as UNH started slow but wore down Providence as the game went on. Matt DiGirolamo stopped 38 shots en route to winning his league-leading 15th game of the season. In their first time playing together in nine weeks, Dalton Speelman, John Henrion and Austin Block added goals for the Wildcats. Kyle MacKinnon had the lone goal for the Friars.

@Merrimack 7, Vermont 1
ANDOVER, MA - A week after he let in six goals to UMass, Rob Madore’s struggles in the second game of back-to-backs continued as he allowed three goals in the first 13:35 of the first period before Josh Burrows got the Cats on the board. Mike Collins had a hat trick, Chris Barton scored twice and Joe Cucci assisted on four of the Warriors’ goals. Joe Cannata continued his strong play between the pipes, stopping 14 shots before being lifted to record his league-leading 15th win.

Boston College 5, at Lowell 1
LOWELL, MA - The defending world champions picked up right where they left off last week against the RiverHawks, beating Lowell cleanly a week after letting them get ahead early before battling back. John Muse stopped 28 shots to earn his league-leading 15th win. Cam Atkinson and Jimmy Hayes each scored twice for BC; Atkinson improved his team-best goals total to 19. Matt Ferreira was responsible for Lowell’s only tally.

@UMass 2, Northeastern 2
AMHERST, MA - Wade MacLeod scored twice to extend his Hockey East points streak to eight consecutive games, but Paul Dainton kept the rest of the Huskies off the board and the Minutemen escaped with a much-needed point. Chase Langeraap and Michael Pereira scored for UMass, which got 20 shots on net in the first period alone. Chris Rawlings stopped 37 of the shots he faced. Northeastern is now on a four-game conference points streak, its longest such streak of the year.

@Maine 1, Boston University 1
ORONO, ME - Will O’Brien scored just 21 seconds in, but Kieran Millan held the Black Bears off the board the rest of the game, and Joe Pereira’s goal at the seven-minute mark of the first period was the only other tally. Martin Oullette stopped 18 Terrier shots on goal and Millan stopped 40 shots to preserve the draw.
