STORRS, Conn. — UConn men's hockey lost to no. 12 Colorado College by a final of 4-1 on Saturday. The Huskies outshot Colorado Col. 32-30, including 16-4 in the third period, but were held scoreless over the final two periods.
UConn held a 13-12 edge in shots on goal in the first period and converted its only power-play opportunity, with Kaden Shahan scoring off assists from Ethan Whitcomb and Kai Janviriya. Colorado College scored twice at even strength, getting goals from Bret Link and Zach Olsen, and led 2-1 at the first intermission.
Colorado College controlled the shot volume in the second period, generating 30 attempts to the Huskies' nine while UConn blocked several chances and Veeti Louhivaara was credited with 13 saves. Connor Hvidston scored the period's only goal just under two minutes into the start of the period at even strength, and UConn entered the second intermission trailing 3-1.
The Huskies were held scoreless in the third despite three power-play opportunities, with Colorado College goaltender Jackson Unger making 16 saves in the period. Connor Hvidston scored his second of the night following an odd man rush, giving the Tigers the 4-1 lead.
