BU’s five game-winning streak and its seven-game conference winning streak ground to a halt as Maine beat the Terriers, 4-2, at Agganis Arena last night. The Black Bears broke a 2-2 tie in the final period, then added an empty-netter for the final margin.
Maine’s potent power play proved the difference as the Black Bears scored twice in four chances, including the game-winner midway through the third period. Fourteen of Maine’s 25 shots came on its final three power plays.
Terriers took a 1-0 first period lead on Alex Chiasson’s ninth of the season on a power play late in the first period. Maine scored twice in the first 8:22 of the middle period. Following a delay due to a partial power outage in the arena, Ross Gaudet knotted the score at two apiece when he banked a shot in off Maine goalie Dan Sullivan, who stopped 28 Terrier shots. Terriers carried the play during the remainder of the period, but couldn’t retake the lead despite several grade-A chances.
Kieran Millan finished with 21 saves.
