In front of a sold-out Agganis Arena, BU dropped a 4-1
decision to BC in the first game of a home-and-home series. The teams meet
again tonight at Conte Forum with puck drop set for 7 p.m. The game will air
live on ESPN3.
Terriers dominated the first period, emerging with a 1-0
lead on Chad Krys’s power-play goal, following slick passes from Shane Bowers
and Joel Farabee. BU had several chances to extend the lead, but was foiled by
the Eagles Joe Woll, while Jake Oettinger defended a breakaway by Oliver Wahlstrom.
BC tied the score midway through the second period on the first of Logan Hutsko’s two goals. A key turning point came minutes later with BU on the power play. Woll made a point-blank stop on Max Willman and Patrick Curry’s follow-up attempt went over a half-empty cage. Hutsko scored the eventual game-winner late in the period, beating Oettinger from the right circle.

BC tied the score midway through the second period on the first of Logan Hutsko’s two goals. A key turning point came minutes later with BU on the power play. Woll made a point-blank stop on Max Willman and Patrick Curry’s follow-up attempt went over a half-empty cage. Hutsko scored the eventual game-winner late in the period, beating Oettinger from the right circle.
In the third period, BC severely limited the number of grade A
scoring opportunities for BU and added an insurance goal by Chris Brown,
followed by Marc McLaughlin’s empty-netter for a 4-1 final.
Oettinger stopped 27 BC shots while his counterpart, Woll,
stopped 38 Terrier shots. Among the few bright spots for BU was co-captain Bobo
Carpenter’s strong performance in the faceoff circle—especially in the first
period—winning 17 of 26 draws.
BU Coach Albie O'Connell said, “I thought we were the more physical
team in the first. I thought we
played really physical. I don’t think there were many hits that we
passed up, and I think that’s why we kind of controlled that first
period.”
He added, “We had some glorious chances in the
second. At the end of it all, you can say, ‘Oh, we had
great chances,’ [but] we didn’t find a way to put puck in net.”
