Jay O’Brien and Dylan Peterson each scored, and the Boston University Terriers (4-8-2, 3-5-2 HE) tied the<\/span> Northeastern University Huskies (9-4-1, 5-3-1 HE)<\/span> 2-2 at Matthews Arena on Saturday. Freshman forward Jack Hughes scored in the eighth round of the shootout to give Northeastern the extra point.<\/p>\n

“It was a hell of a crowd and it was a hell of a game,” BU head coach Albie O’Connell said. “I thought [Northeastern] played a lot better tonight than last night… We played well enough to win… [I’m] happy with our club and the way we played all weekend.”<\/p>\n

Junior forwards Ethan Phillips and Robert Mastrosimone, and junior defensemen Alex Vlasic and Dom Fensore had assists for. Sophomore goaltender Drew Commesso made 29 saves for the Terriers.<\/p>\n

Junior forward Aidan McDonough scored twice for the Huskies. Hughes, senior captain Jordan Harris and freshman forward Justin Hryckowian each had assists. Sophomore goaltender Devon Levi made 33 saves.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I thought it was a great college hockey game. I thought both teams played really well tonight,” Northeastern head coach Jerry Keefe said. “It was a fun atmosphere… We wanted that extra point, and we found a way to get the extra point. That was big.”<\/p>\n

McDonough opened the scoring at 13:40 with a shot from the left face-off dot to make it 1-0 Northeastern.<\/p>\n

BU responded 1:03 later during 4-on-4 play as O’Brien cashed in on a rebound from Fensore’s shot.<\/p>\n

Peterson gave BU a 2-1 lead on the power play at 15:50 of the second as his cross-crease pass attempt banked off a Northeastern skate and in. Peterson missed Friday’s 1-0 overtime loss to the Huskies with injury.<\/p>\n

“It was nice to see [Peterson] back in the lineup,” O’Connell said. “Obviously he was a factor on the scoresheet and on the ice.”<\/p>\n

McDonough pulled the Huskies even early in the third period on the power play at 3:09, beating Commesso from the high slot after the puck broke loose from the scramble in front.<\/p>\n

Junior defenseman Jeremie Bucheler scored first in the shootout for Northeastern, but O’Brien scored for BU to extend the game.<\/p>\n

Hughes patiently swooped in on a serpentine route before deking and slipping the puck through Commesso’s five hole. The officials ruled it a goal on the ice and confirmed it via replay, despite some confusion in making the initial call.<\/p>\n

“I kind of had that move in my mind right when we went to a shootout,” Hughes said. “I was just kind of waiting, and hoping my name would get called. If I was going, I was doing that move.<\/p>\n

“I thought [Commesso] saved it… I just kind of heard the crowd and assumed they had a good view of it from [the balcony].”<\/p>\n

BU will return to action next Saturday against Cornell in Red Hot Hockey at Madison Square Garden. Puck drop is at 8 p.m.<\/p>\n
