Déjà vu: Terriers fall to NU in overtime in TD Garden, 2-1 UPDATED


BU’s attempt to defend its Hockey East championship came to an end with a 2-1 overtime loss to Northeastern, echoing a defeat by the same score in overtime in the Beanpot. With the defeat, BU finishes with a 16-18-4 record.

The Huskies will face BC in tonight’s title game after the Eagles upset regular-season champion Massachusetts.

The Terrier took a 1-0 first-period lead on Ty Amonte’s power play goal, converting the rebound of David Farrance's shot.  Patrick Harper nearly doubled the lead when his shot off a Logan Cockerill feed hit the post, the first of two BU shots that caught iron.

After a scoreless second period. BU gave up the lead 16 seconds into the third. Tyler Madden collected a puck that deflect off a BU stick and beat Jake Oettinger.  Midway through the period, Shane Bowers' scoring bid went off NU goalie Cayden Primeau and then off the post.

At 15:44 of overtime, Northeastern took advantage of a weak clearing attempt around the board and set up Zach Solow in the high slot for a shot that beat Oettinger high to the glove side for the game-winner.
