Terriers rally past NU on Greenway OT goal--UPDATED



Down 2-0 to Northeastern after one, the #8/6 Terriers rallied to tie the score in the third period and then completed the comeback on Jordan Greenway’s power play goal three minutes into overtime for a 3-2 win in game one of the best-of-three quarterfinal series.

Division 1 scoring leader Zach Aston-Reese gave NU an early lead when he corralled a loose puck behind the goal line, skated behind the net and out in front, beating Jake Oettinger. Two-and-half minutes later, Jeremy Davies completed a backdoor passing play to put the Huskies ahead, 2-0. Oettinger kept the lead right there later in the period when his lunging stick save robbed Davies (video) at the goalmouth on a power play.

BU dominated the second period and cut the lead in half on Dante Fabbro’s power play goal at 7:33. Kieffer Bellows sent the draw back to Brandon Hickey, who slid the puck to Fabbro for a 40-foot wrist shot that sailed past Ryan Ruck with Bellow’s providing a screen.
The Terriers scored the equalizer midway through the third when Patrick Curry forced a turnover behind the Huskies’ net and fed Chase Phelps in the slot for a shot that beat Ruck five-hole.  BU had to kill a pair of penalties in the final nine minutes of regulation and held Northeastern without a shot on goal.


At 1:35 into overtime, Clayton Keller drew a hooking call and BU went on the power play. Chad Krys gloved down a clearing at center ice and sent the puck ahead to Charlie McAvoy who dished to Keller. The freshman center put a cross-ice pass on Greenway’s stick at the left circle and his wrist shot beat Ruck high to the stick side for the game-winner.

BU converted 2 of 5 power plays, while holding NU’s second-in-the-nation power play off the board in four attempts and limiting the Huskies to just four shots.

Terriers played much of the game shorthanded as both Bobo Carpenter and John MacLeod were injured in the first period and did not return. Coach David Quinn did not offer details.
