Providence 3 at UMass 3 (OT)
AMHERST, MA - Chase Langeraap scored with just 38 seconds remaining to tie the game and UMass escaped with a point against a Providence team that hasn’t won since December 11th and hasn’t won a conference game since beating Merrimack 2-0 on November 5th, a span of 15 games.
After getting out to an early 2-0 lead on goals by Michael Marcou and Joel Hanley, UMass allowed Providence to score the next three goals in a five-minute span during the middle of the second frame. Eric Baier, Derek Army and Kyle MacKinnon each lit the lamp for the Friars, who figured to gain two points for the first time in 98 days, but couldn’t contain Langeraap when it counted most. Alex Beaudry stopped 42 shots for Providence, which only managed to get 22 shots on Paul Dainton in 65 minutes.
at Maine 4, Vermont 2
ORONO, ME - Gustav Nyquist began and ended the scoring, getting the empty netter he couldn’t last weekend at UNH to ice away the Cats and earn a weekend split for the Black Bears. Joey Diamond scored the game winner for Maine, which moved back into fifth place over idle Northeastern.
After Nyquist opened the scoring just six seconds into the game, Sebastian Stalberg and Jack Downing scored in the first period for Vermont to give the Cats the lead, but the Black Bears’ relentless offensive attack finally got some defensive support and Maine walked away with two points for the first time in seven conference games. Shawn Sirman stopped 17 shots for Maine and Rob Madore turned away 35 shots for Vermont. Vermont’s loss coupled with the UMass tie drops them into 8th place by themselves.
at Merrimack 3, UNH 2 (OT)
ANDOVER, MA - Jordan Heywood scored 1:42 into overtime to finish off a weekend sweep of the Wildcats for Merrimack, which has won six in a row and eight of its last nine Hockey East games. The Warriors didn’t trail at any point during the weekend series, and move into third place alone in the conference, leapfrogging idle BU.
With leading scorer Stephane Da Costa sidelined with an injured knee, Merrimack scored the game’s first two goals before a late-second period scrum put UNH on an extended man advantage, which the Wildcats scored twice on to tie the game. Paul Thompson scored his conference-leading 24th goal and assisted on Dalton Speelman’s tying goal just 71 seconds later.
With the win, Joe Cannata moves into first in the conference alone with 19 wins. He stopped 38 UNH shots to secure the win.
