STORRS, Conn. — UConn men's hockey defeated no.15 Boston University by a final of 5-4 in overtime Thursday evening. Sophomore Kam Hendrickson made 46 saves while Joey Muldowney scored the game winner in overtime.
UConn started the game on a power play after a bench minor was issued to Boston University. The Huskies were unable to find the back of the net with the man advantage but shortly after the power play expired, Ethan Whitcomb took the puck the length of the ice and fired a shot past Mikhail Yegorov giving UConn the 1-0 lead. UConn's netminder Kam Hendrickson credited with an assist. The Terriers pushed back with chances of its own and were able to tie it at 1-1 at 7:39. The Huskies fought back as Kaden Shahan muscled away the puck from the Terrier defensemen in the neutral zone and then skated into the offensive zone and fired a shot bar down to put the Huskies back in front making it 2-1. After UConn's penalty kill got through another Boston University power play, the Terriers scored with two minutes remaining in the period to tie the game at 2 before intermission.
Boston University jumped the Huskies early in the second period putting multiple shots on Hendrickson around Alexandre Blais' tripping penalty, but UConn killed another power play keeping the game tied at two. Following a penalty on the Terriers, UConn was able to convert on the power play when Trey Scott beat everyone on the ice and was able to sneak one past Yegorov giving UConn the 3-2 lead. UConn then killed penalties to Carlin Dezainde and Gardula in the second half of the period, with Hendrickson handling Boston Universities looks and the Huskies blocking several attempts. A late Boston University penalty put UConn back on the power play in the final 1:31, and the period ended with the Huskies ahead 3-2.
Through the opening minutes of the third period, the Terries put UConn under pressure, forcing Hendrickson into a series of saves before the Huskies killed Alexandre Blais' tripping penalty at 11:17. UConn pushed back through the middle of the frame, and Dezainde scored at 6:50 off assists from Alexandre Blais and Brendan Dunphy to make it 4-2. Boston University cut the margin to 4-3 on Carter Amico's goal at 3:26, then went on the power play after Joey Muldowney was called for hooking at 2:30. With an extra attacker on, Ryder Ritchie scored a power-play goal at :47 off assists from Jack Murtagh and Conrad Fondrk, tying the game 4-4 forcing overtime.
In overtime, Boston University generated the early chances, with Hendrickson stopping multiple shots early. After weathering the early storm, UConn went on the attack of their own and was able to end it when the Huskies caught the Terriers in a line change and Joey Muldowney fired a puck bar down to beat Yegorov.
