#3/4
Terriers combined offensive punch and near-flawless goaltending to thwart
Colgate in the season's lid-lifter, 6-1, at the Red Raiders’ new Class of 1965
Arena. Freshman Patrick Harper led the way with a pair of goals, while
classmate Jake Oettinger turned aside 29 shots, including 12 in the final
stanza.
Harper,
fresh off his USHR Prep Forward of the Year season at Avon Old Farms, opened
the scoring with a wrister from the high slot during a 5-on-3 power play. Later
in the period, Nick Roberto, skating for the first time since the 2015 NCAA
title game, banged home the rebound of Nikolas Olsson’s short-handed bid to
double the lead.
Harper’s
second goal, assisted by Clayton Keller and Brandon Hickey, extended the lead
in the second period, while Oettinger defended nine consecutive Colgate shots late
in the period to keep the score at 3-0.
Any
Colgate hopes for a comeback were crushed in a 2:13 stretch early in the third
period. First, junior Tommy Kelley (photo) one-timed a shot past the Raiders' Charlie Finn with freshmen Gabriel Chabot and Johnny
McDermott picking up their first career points. Then Keller deflected home a
Hickey pass, with another rookie, Kieffer Bellows, also assisting. Finally, junior Jakob
Forsbacka Karlsson scored from the goalmouth with helpers from senior captain Doyle Somerby and sophomore Bobo Carpenter, who had rung a
shot off the post earlier in the game.
With
less than 10 minutes left, Oettinger lost his shutout bid when Mike Panowyk’s
wrap-around shot eluded the netminder.
Thirteen
of 18 BU skaters registered a point.
►Oettinger
was the first American goaltender to start for BU in 315 games, a streak dating
back to the beginning of the 2008-09 season, when Brett Bennett was a BU netminder.
