#3/4
Terriers scored once in each period and Jake Oettinger stopped 26 of 27 shots as BU
completed a weekend sweep of Maine with a 3-1 win at Alfond Arena. The victory
extended the longest winning streak in Division 1 to eight games and gave BU a
10-1-1 record for its last 12 games.
BU
scored the only goal of a fairly even first period while killing a penalty.
Clayton Keller intercepted a pass inside the Black Bears blue line, sped to the
net and beat Rob McGovern with a backhander for his tenth tally.
Aided
by several Black Bear penalties, the Terriers had 13 shots in the second period and
cashed in at the 15:32 mark. Jakob Forsbacka Karlsson found Patrick Harper at the right dot for
a one-timer. It was the freshman wing’s first goal since the December 9th game at
Vermont and his eighth of the season. Later in the period, Harper was injured
during a 5-on-3 power play and did not return. Jordan Greenway had several
scoring opportunities during that power play but was stymied by McGovern.
Maine
cut the lead in half with its own power play goal six minutes into the third
period. Moments after Nick Roberto was set up by Keller for another shorthanded
bid, Blaine Byron collected the rebound of his own shot attempt, closed to the
left circle and wristed a shot that went off Dante Fabbro’s stick blade and
hopped over Oettinger’s shoulder.
BU
responded with offensive pressure and three minutes later was rewarded when
Keller’s shot attempt deflected to a charging Brandon Hickey (photo) who fired the puck
home for his fourth of the season.
Maine
upped the pressure and spent much of the game’s final minutes in the BU zone,
hitting the goal post once and creating several scoring chances, but Oettinger,
who lowered his goals against average to 1.70, slammed the door.
Harper
and Keller earned the game’s first and second stars respectively.
BU
has won its first six January games, a feat last achieved during the 1977-78
season, when the Terriers went on to claim their third national title.
BU,
in the midst of a stretch with five games in nine days, will be on the road
again Tuesday for the first of two games against Merrimack.

Bach recorded her third career hat trick but the Terriers had to rally with a late goal for a
5-5 tie with Providence at Schneider Arena on Saturday. BU had a 4-1 lead after
scoring three times in the second period—one by Rebecca Leslie and a pair of
Bach power play goals. But Providence scored the next four goals to take a 5-4
lead. With two-and-a-half minutes left in regulation, Leslie scored her second
goal when Alexis Crossley’s shot caromed off her skate for the equalizer. Crossley tallied four assists and now has 14 for the season, leading the Terrier D-corps.
