Eagles and No. 12 Huskies Skate to 3-3 Tie at Matthews
October 18, 2022 | Men's Hockey
BOSTON – Boston College and No. 12 Northeastern skated to a 3-3 tie in a back-and-forth affair on Tuesday night in a non-conference game at Matthews Arena.
Â
Freshman Cutter Gauthier scored his first collegiate goal in the third period during his NCAA debut, while juniors Trevor Kuntar and Colby Ambrosio lit the lamp in the second period.
Â
Mitch Benson finished the night with 32 saves for Boston College (1-1-1, 1-0-0 HEA).
Â
Aidan McDonough gave Northeastern (3-1-1, 2-1-0 HEA) a 1-0 lead on a power play one-timer from the right wing exactly 11 minutes into the first period.
Â
Early in the second, Kuntar equalized from the same wing with a blistering snap shot that beat Devon Levi (30 saves) short side off the near post. Rookies Oskar Jellvik and Lukas Gustafsson picked up the assists on the power play tally.
Â
Ambrosio handed the Eagles their first lead at 6:53, racing onto a feed from captain Marshall Warren down the middle of the ice before sneaking a forehand shot under Levi's right armpit.
Â
NU answered at 11:04 of the second when Matt DeMelis finished a loose puck at the right post following a netfront scramble.
Â
Eight minutes into the third, an individual effort from the fifth overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft restored the Eagles' lead. Gauthier cut around a defender with speed along the right wing to create a 2-on-1 with Nikita Nesterenko, absorbed a slash for a delayed penalty, and slid a shot five-hole on Levi.
Â
The Huskies once again had the answer as Jack Hughes deked his way into the left wing circle and fired a shot high glove side to knot the score at 9:52.
Â
Ambrosio and Kuntar both had quality chances during the 3-on-3 overtime session, but Levi was able to deny both with timely saves.
Â
Boston College returns to Hockey East play on Sunday when it hosts UNH at 1 p.m. on the Heights.
