Terriers were shut out by Maine, 6-0, at Alfond
Arena, wasting a final opportunity to gain home ice for the Hockey East
quarterfinals. BU was thoroughly outplayed by the Black Bears who scored twice
in each period and scored their six goals—all at even strength— on only 26
shots.
The game got off to an ominous start for BU as
Brendan Robbins scored his first of two goals at 1:44 of the first period, racing
into the Terrier zone and beating Jake Oettinger from the right circle. Maine
doubled the lead six minutes later.
Robbins scored his second goal in the second
period, followed by scores by Tim Doherty, Brady Keeper and Mitchell
Fossier. Oettinger, who yielded the first of four goals, was replaced midway through the second period by Vinnie Purpura
who gave up two goals on 14 shots.
BU will travel to Lowell for its quarterfinal best-of-three playoff series, beginning Friday.
