#5/4
Terriers scored a pair of first-period goals and junior goalie Connor LaCouvee
made them stand up for a 2-1 win against Connecticut at Hartford’s XL Center.
LaCouvee, in his first start of the season, turned aside 29 shots, including 12
in the second period when UConn had four power plays, and earned first-star
honors.

Jordan
Greenway got BU on the board just 3:28 into the game, when he found the net
from the top of the right faceoff circle, assisted by Jakob Forsbacka Karlsson
and Patrick Harper. Then, at the 16 minute mark, freshman Gabriel Chabot
(photo) wristed a shot from the right side past UConn’s Rob Nichols for his first
collegiate tally. Linemates Tommy Kelley and Patrick Curry assisted.
BU
controlled the play through the first ten minutes of the middle
period, but seconds after his shot rang off the post, Kieffer Bellows drew the
first of three consecutive Terrier penalties that led to a 12-8 shot advantage for the
Huskies.
UConn
finally broke LaCouvee’s shutout bid seven minutes into the third period as its
final power play was running out. Spencer Naas scored from the left dot after
receiving a cross-ice pass.
When
the Huskies pulled Nichols in the final minutes, Bobo Carpenter blocked Tage
Thompson’s slapshot, denying UConn’s best chance to tie the game.
Commenting
on LaCouvee’s performance, junior Brandon Hickey said:
“You saw a lot of energy from the kid right out of the gate. You can tell he was focused in, and everything that was coming his way he was stopping early on. That’s a big confidence booster for the guys up in front of him.”
BU
dominated in the faceoff circle with Forsbacka Karlsson and Bobo Carpenter
combining to win 31 of 50.
BU
is now undefeated in its first three Hockey East contests for just the second time
since 2002. The 2010-11 squad went 4-0-4 in its first eight games.
