All Tangled Up

In a back and forth game, BU and Uconn battled to a 2-2 draw in front of 3,397 at Agganis Arena as the Terriers play their first Hockey East league contest of the 2018 campaign.

“That was Hockey East at its finest. There wasn’t a lot of room out there and guys competed. I thought we had a really good first period, thought we defended a lot harder. It's frustrating because we just haven’t been able to score goals.”

Both of BU's goals came shorthanded, both scored by Bobo Carpenter. Johny Austin and Alexander Payusov both scored on the power play for UConn. 

“Our penalty kill let us down tonight,” added Head Coach David Quinn. “You can’t be giving up two goals after you get two shorthand goals. We just don’t have a lot of experience with guys killing right now. That’s going to take some time.”

Jake Oettinger made 31 saves on the night, while UConn goalie Adam Huska turned aside 33.
