For
a second consecutive Friday, the Terriers failed to hold a two goal lead in the
third period and eventually lost to UConn in overtime, 5-4. Adding insult to
injury, the game-winning goal was scored by one-time BU commit, Max Letunov.
BU
dominated the first two periods, outshooting the Huskies 22 to 11. Chad Krys
scored the only goal of the first period with a wrist shot from the point on a
power play with Dante Fabbro and Brady Tkachuk assisting.
Spencer Naas knotted the score on UConn’s first shot of the second period, beating Jake
Oettinger from the high slot. BU answered a minute later when Bobo Carpenter
fired home the rebound of a Hank Crone shot.
With the teams skating four-on-four, BU worked a give-and-go with Brien
Diffley scoring on a pass from Logan Cockerill for a 3-1 lead.
Recalling
last weekend’s loss to UMass, the Huskies cut the lead in half on Naas’s second goal, a power play tally. But this time BU restored the two-goal lead
when Ty Amonte banged home the rebound of David Farrance’s shot. Midway through the period, Kasperi Ojantakanen
pulled UConn within one again and four minutes later, another power play goal,
this one by Alexander Payusov, evened the score at 4-4.
BU
pressed to regain the lead but couldn’t put one past UConn’s Tanner Creel and
the game moved to overtime. At 2:51
Letunov scored unassisted on a backhander past Oettinger.
