Behind
three second-period goals, #2 Massachusetts defeated BU, 4-2, at the Mullins
Center in Amherst. The win gave the Minutemen their first-ever sweep of the
Terriers and extended BU’s losing streak to four games.
Flipping
a recent script, BU drew first blood with a Dante Fabbro power play goal seven
minutes into the first period. Ty Amonte redirected a Joel Farabee centering
pass to Fabbro in the left circle for a one-timer past goalie Filip Lundberg.
The
second period was all UMass as it outshot BU, 16-4. Two goals in less than two
minutes—by John Leonard and Jack Suter—gave the Minutemen the lead, which they
extended late in the period on Jake McLaughlin’s tally.
BU
pressed to get back into the game in the third period, but it was UMass that
found the net next on Marc DelGazio’s power play goal. Terrier narrowed the
margin to two in the final minute on Shane Bowers shorthanded goal, assisted by
Kasper Kotkansalo and Ryan Cloonan.

Looking
ahead
According
to several tweets, Boston Junior Bruins forward Jamie Armstrong has committed
to BU for next season. The 6’2” left wing, who previously played for the USHL
Central Illinois Flying Aces, was a linemate of Patrick Harper at Avon Old
Farms for two seasons.
All
four 2019 recruits on the NTDP U18s were on the scoresheet in Team USA’s 8-2
rout of The Czech Republic at the U18 Five Nations in Sochi, Russia. Trevor
Zegras led the way with a goal and three assists, while Alex Vlasic has a pair
of assists and Case McCarthy and Domenick Fensore each had one helper. Team USA
takes on host Russia on Saturday with the tournament title on the line. With
seven points (3G,4A) thus far in the tournament, Zegras now has a team-high 60
points.
2020
recruit Drew Commesso pitched his second shutout in the U17 Five Nations
Tournament in Sweden as Team USA defeated the Czech Republic, 3-0. Fellow
recruit Dylan Peterson assisted on the game-winning goal. Earlier in the week, Commesso blanked
Finland, 8-0.
2020
recruit Liam Connors scored a pair of goals in #6 St. Sebastian’s 9-2 rout of previously unbeaten #2
Lawrence Academy. 2019 recruit Liam Gorman assisted on Connors’ first tally and
added a second-period goal as the Arrows broke the game open. With 34 points in
23 games, Connors established a new career-best and becomes the team scoring
leader.
