Kaiser's Late Winner Lifts No. 14 UMass Lowell Past Boston College 3-2
February 04, 2022 | Men's Hockey
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Zach Keiser scored with 1:45 left in regulation to snap a 2-2 deadlock on Friday night and 14th-ranked UMass Lowell took three Hockey East points with a 3-2 road victory over Boston College at Kelley Rink.
Â
The River Hawks (15-6-3, 12-5-1 HEA) extended their lead atop the league standings, while the Eagles dropped to 10-13-4 (5-9-3 HEA).
Â
Sophomore Trevor Kuntar led Boston College with a goal and an assist, while classmate Gentry Shamburger posted his first collegiate goal. Eric Dop stopped 27 of the 30 shots he faced in net.
Â
Kuntar created the game's first goal at 6:37 of the opening frame by forcing a turnover at the Lowell blue line. The winger quickly backhanded a pass into the left circle for Shamburger, who buried a first-time shot into the top right corner for the first of his career.
Â
The River Hawks answered with under two minutes left in the first on a blocker side one-timer from Ryan Brushett in the right wing circle.
Â
Late in the second period, Dop kept the score tied with an outstretched right pad save on Isac Jonsson and covered the puck with his right skate for a faceoff.
Â
Kuntar put the Eagles back on top on the power play two minutes into the third period, spinning a heavy shot glove side on Owen Savory from the high slot. Marshall Warren and Jack St. Ivany picked up the assists on Kuntar's seventh of the year.
Â
Lowell had an answer midway through the third when Owen Cole one-timed a feed from Carl Berglund high glove side for a shorthanded game-tying goal. In the final two minutes of regulation, Kaiser located a loose puck in the left circle and fired a shot blocker side under Dop's armpit for the game-winner.
Â
BC closed the night 2-for-2 on the penalty kill and 1-for-3 with the man advantage.
Â
The Eagles face Northeastern on Monday at 8 p.m. in the 69th Beanpot at TD Garden.
