Hockey returned to Agganis Arena yesterday afternoon as BU scored five
power play goals in a 5-0 exhibition game win against the University of
Toronto. Sophomore Alexx Privitera (photo) was the top point-scorer with three assists,
while freshmen blueliners Matt Grzelcyk and Ahti Oksanen each record of a pair
of helpers.
Junior Matt Nieto’s wrister opened the scoring and sophomore
Evan Rodrigues doubled the lead tipping in Oksanen’s blast, both in the first
period. Sophomore Yassin Cissé rapped a puck home from the goalmouth
and freshman Mike Moran banked one off the Varsity Blues’s beleaguered goal in
the middle period, while sophomore Cason Hohmann completed the scoring on a low
wrist shot.
Rookie goalies Matt O’Connor and Sean Maguire each played half
the game, but with Toronto putting only 17 shots on goal—compared to the
Terriers’ 50—neither was challenged too much.
BU coach Jack Parker experimented with his lines throughout
the game, however, the first line of Nieto, Sahir Gill and Cissé looked
particularly effective both at even strength and on power plays.
