Senior Danny O'Regan recorded his second career hat trick, but a late New Hampshire goal knotted the score at 3-3, forcing BU to settle for a disappointing tie at the Whittemore Center in Durham.
Following a scoreless first period in which BU outshot the Wildcats 12-3, Terriers got on the board just 12 seconds into the second period. O'Regan took a feed from Jordan Greenway and wristed it past Daniel Tirone, with Jakob Forsbacka Karlsson also assisting. The senior from Needham struck again at 6:41 on a power play with assists to captain Matt Grzelcyk and Charlie McAvoy. But UNH answered quickly with a goal by Jamie Hill and again on a power play goal by Michael McNicholas.
BU pressed the attack in the third period, firing 15 shots on goal and finally broke the tie at 17:28 with O'Regan's third goal, assisted by Greenway and Forsbacka Karlsson. Just half minute later, the Wildcats took advantage of a Terrier turnover and Maxim Gaudrault scored the equalizer. BU dominated overtime but couldn't put one past Tirone, who made 37 saves and earned first-star honors.
Connor LaCouvee, who turned aside 19 shots, started in place of Sean Maguire, who reportedly suffered a hand injury. Defenseman Brandon Hickey left the game late in the second period with an apparent leg injury after being slammed into the boards and did not return in the final period.
