at Maine 4, Merrimack 0
ORONO, ME - Four Black Bears scored and Spencer Abbott tallied three points to extend Maine’s winning streak to three games and hand Merrimack just its second shutout loss on the season, its first such defeat since falling to Providence by a score of 2-0 on November 5th. The two teams combined for 173 penalty minutes, including Kyle Bigos’ match penalty for a blindside hit on Maine’s Gustav Nyquist. The game disqualification means that Bigos will be ineligible for Saturday night’s game with the Black Bears.
Joe Cannata was pulled after letting four of the first 17 pucks he saw past, and took his first loss since January 21st. Dan Sullivan kept an opposing team off the board for the third straight game and currently has a shutout streak of 180 minutes going. The Black Bears as a team haven’t allowed a goal in 190 minutes of play.
Boston College 4 at UMass 3
AMHERST, MA - After the Eagles jumped out to a 4-1 lead midway through the second period, the Minutemen stormed back to come within one goal of tying, but were never able to get over the hump. Brian Gibbons, Joe Whitney and Cam Atkinson each had two-point nights for the Eagles, while nine Minutemen registered a point. John Muse only had to stop 17 shots for the win, while UMass’ Paul Dainton stopped 30 shots, in the process becoming the Minutemen’s all-time saves leader. With the loss, UMass drops to eighth in the conference, two points ahead of Providence.
at Boston University 3, Vermont 3
BOSTON, MA - The Terriers coasted to a three-goal lead nearing the middle of the third period before the Catamounts exploded, scoring three times in 6:52 to tie the game and holding on the rest of the way to earn a point and move into seventh place alone in Hockey East. Nine Vermont players registered a point on the night, and Lance Herrington’s first goal of the season tied it up with 6:31 to play in the game. Rob Madore stopped 43 shots to preserve the tie. Vermont now has a one-point lead on UMass, which lost to Boston College, and maintains a three-point cushion on Providence.
at New Hampshire 2, Northeastern 2
DURHAM, NH - Kevin Goumas shot the puck from the goal line and it bounced off of Mike Hewkin’s stick before hitting Chris Rawlings in the rib and falling into the Northeastern net. The goal - which came after an earlier Goumas goal was disallowed after the net was lifted - tied the game at two, and the Wildcats and Huskies weren’t able to solve each other the rest of the way. New Hampshire lost Greg Burke to what is probably a separated shoulder and Northeastern lost Hewkin to an upper-body injury and neither will play when the two teams face off Saturday at Matthews Arena.
Drew Daniels and Wade MacLeod scored for Northeastern, which got off to an early 2-0 lead thanks to some superb forechecking and great play in the neutral zone. Connor Hardowa, who was moved from defense to center on UNH’s fourth line following the Burke injury in the first period, scored the other Wildcat goal. With the tie, UNH maintains its grip on first place over BC by a point.
at Providence 3, Lowell 3
PROVIDENCE, RI - Matt Germain scored the first and last goal of the game for the Friars and Joseph Pendenza scored twice in 1:21 in the second period for Lowell, which earned a point for the first time since upsetting Merrimack on January 21st. Alex Beaudry stopped 33 shots for Providence, which is now two points out of eighth place in the Hockey East standings.
