No. 7 Hockey Battles Back For 1-1 Tie At UNH
January 25, 2020 | Hockey
Jack Suter scores his third of the season to help the Minutemen earn a hard-fought point on the road in Durham.
DURHAM, N.H. – No. 7 University of Massachusetts hockey rallied from a one-goal deficit late in the third period to earn a hard-fought 1-1 tie on the road at New Hampshire on Saturday night. Following the draw, the Minutemen sit at 16-8-2, 9-5-2 in Hockey East, while the Wildcats are now 13-9-2 and 7-6-1 in conference play.
"Another really good hockey game," said UMass head coach Greg Carvel. "Very similar to last night, two teams playing a good honest brand of hockey, playing hard, hard-fought, a lot of penalties tonight, which could have determined the game, especially for us, but it didn't. I'm really happy for my guys. They played hard and they found a way to tie on the road late in the game. That was a big character point for us in the league where every single point is going to be huge. I'm really happy with the effort of our group tonight."
In the final minute of the first period, UNH opened the scoring on their first power play opportunity of the night. Charlie Kelleher drove a one-timer past goaltender Filip Lindberg from the left faceoff dot off a feed from Max Gildon and Jackson Pierson at 19:23.
After a scoreless second, UMass came out in the third and controlled much of the possession, out-shooting the Wildcats 14-4 in the period. With just over five minutes to go in regulation, the Minutemen won a faceoff in their defensive zone and senior Jake McLaughlin sent the puck up the wall to sophomore Bobby Trivigno. Trivigno found Suter with a cross-ice pass and senior Jack Suter drove to the net to score the equalizer at 14:37.
Both teams had chances to pull in front in the closing minutes of regulation, but it remained a stalemate through the overtime period that saw the squads each register one shot on goal apiece. UMass finished the night with a 27-19 advantage in shots and was 0-for-7 on the power play, while UNH was 1-for-5.
Lindberg registered 18 saves for the Minutemen and his counterpart, Mike Robinson, had 26 stops for the Wildcats.
UMass will return home next Friday, January 31, to play host to No. 4 Boston College in the Mullins Center at 7 p.m.
