#7/8
BU settled for a 2-2 tie with Connecticut in the first game of a home-and-home
series. The Terriers held 1-0 and 2-1 leads, thanks to a pair of Bobo Carpenter shorthanded
goals, but UConn matched each one with a power play goal.
BU
dominated the first period, outshooting the visitors, 14-7, but couldn't put a
shot past the Huskies’ Adam Huska. The Terriers took their first lead while
killing a penalty midway through the second when Carpenter raced past a
defender and beat Huska with a backhander to the glove side. But 20 seconds
before the man-advantage expired, Johnny Austin’s center point blast glanced
off Jake Oettinger’s glove to tie the score.

The
Terriers regained the lead late in the period, again while on the penalty kill,
when Huska misplayed Jordan Greenway’s clearing pass near the right circle.
Carpenter gained control, went around the cage and backhanded a sharp-angle
shot for a 2-1 lead at the end of two periods. Shots were more even in the
second with BU holding a 14-12 advantage.

The
Huskies went back on the power play at 5:37 of the third. With seven ticks left
on the man-advantage, Alexander Payusov—unmarked near the crease—flipped home a
rebound after Oettinger stopped the initial shot by Max Letunov, knotting the
score at 2-2. With UConn holding an 11-5
shot advantage in the third, neither team could break the tie and there were
only a few shots on goal in the scoreless overtime.
BU
finished the night with a 35-33 edge in shots. Coach David Quinn assessed the
Terrier performance:
“I thought we generated offense. I thought we defended hard in our end. What I didn’t like was I thought we gave up too many odd-man rushes. We got to absolutely clean that up. Puck management is a problem for us right now, but I love the pace we played at…It's just frustrating because we just haven't been able to score goals."”
