Knight Leads No. 16 Eagles to Series Sweep in Vermont
November 16, 2019 | Men's Hockey
BURLINGTON, Vt. – Rookie netminder Spencer Knight posted his third shutout in 11 games as No. 16 Boston College blanked Vermont 3-0 on Saturday night at Gutterson Fieldhouse to sweep a weekend series.
Â
The Eagles pushed their winning streak to five and improved to 7-4-0 overall and 5-2-0 in Hockey East play, while the Catamounts fell to 1-7-0 (0-5-0 HEA). BC also stretched its unbeaten streak to 11 games (9-0-2) against UVM. Â
Â
David Cotton had a pair of assists to finish the series with four points, including his 100th career point on Friday night. Logan Hutsko's goal in the third period tied his career-high with a seven-game point streak.
Â
Knight made 34 saves on the night, half of which came in the first period as Vermont out-shot BC by 10 in the opening frame. Â
Â
The Eagles finally broke a scoreless deadlock with a pair of goals in the final five minutes of the second period. Aapeli Räsänen located a rebound on the power play at 15:51 to open the scoring, and Patrick Giles finished a give-and-go with classmate Marc McLaughlin shorthanded at 17:09.
Â
BC added an insurance goal four minutes into the third when Hutsko took a lead pass from Cotton and beat Stefanos Lekkas (23 saves) down low on a partial breakaway.
Â
Boston College limited the Catamounts to one shot on goal during a major power play later in the third to help preserve the shutout. The Eagles were 3-for-3 on the kill and 1-for-3 on the power play.
Â
SCORING SUMMARY
