The positives for BU from Friday's game: Four goals scored; the first power-play goal of the season; nearly 20 minutes of O-zone possession; 50 shots (per LiveStats); 25 scoring chances, including 15 Grade A's; strong breakouts; and, as Coach Jay Pandolfo noted, "They never quit," even when down two goals late in the third.
The negatives: Defensive breakdowns led to nearly all the Huskies goals; first power play goal allowed; and another pre-game bench penalty for players joining warm-up too soon. That also happened two years ago in Mikhail Yegorov's first game for BU.
BU Hockey Stats' Advanced Stat Comparison:
Ryder Ritchie with three goals in the last two games is BU's leading scorer. Jack Murtagh assisted on two BU goals Friday--Kamil Bednarik’s and Ritchie’s. He has five points in five games, nearly half of his freshman total of 11.
