#13/14
Notre Dame broke a 1-1 tie with a goal late in the second period and went on to
defeat #6/5 BU, 3-1, at Agganis Arena.
The loss eliminated any chance of an outright regular-season title for the
Terriers. If BU wins tonight’s rematch with the Fighting Irish, it will share the
regular-season title with UMass Lowell and BC and be the second seed in the
conference tournament, due to the tiebraker. A tie or loss tonight would drop
the Terriers to fourth place.
The
visitors opened the scoring when a BU defensive-zone turnover led to Jake Evans
firing a shot past Jake Oettinger from the left circle. Seven minutes later, after
killing a penalty, BU countered when a Clayton Keller shot from the high slot
was redirected past Cal Petersen by Patrick Harper.
The
eventual game-winner was scored at 18:33 of the second when Ben Ostile pushed a
loose puck past Oettinger. The controversial goal was initially reversed but
then confirmed after a video review.
BU
pressed throughout the third period for an equalizer pouring 23 shots on
Petersen, but could not solve the junior netminder, who was aided by several
quick whistles. Petersen has been a thorn in the Terriers’ side for three
seasons. Evans' second goal at 17:25, on
a 2-on-1, put the game out of reach.
“Petersen’s
had our number for three years,” Coach David Quinn said. “Two years ago we were
here and I think we put fifty shots on him both nights and we get a point."
