Huskies Snap No. 1 Boston College's Win Streak at Four
December 01, 2023 | Men's Hockey
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Cam Lund finished a 2-on-1 from the left circle with 6:08 left in regulation to break a 3-3 deadlock and Northeastern secured a 5-3 Hockey East road victory over No. 1 Boston College on Friday night in front of a sellout crowd of 7,884 at Kelley Rink.
The Eagles saw their four-game winning streak snapped as they dropped to 11-3-1 (4-2-1 HEA), while the Huskies improved to 4-7-1 (1-7-0 HEA) after their first league win.
Northeastern opened the scoring 9:22 into the first period when Braden Doyle beat Jacob Fowler (26 saves) blocker side from the high slot through a partial screen.
Lund doubled the Huskies' lead two minutes later, converting a wraparound past a sprawling Fowler at the left post.
NU added a third from defenseman Matthew Staudacher, who fired a shot high short side from the left wing at 16:16 of the opening frame.
Boston College stormed back to tie the game with three goals in the second period. Mike Posma put the Eagles on the board with a shorthanded goal, finishing a centering pass at the edge of the crease from Andre Gasseau at 11:28.
Gabe Perreault pushed a rebound to Ryan Leonard at the right doorstep for a power play goal at 15:20, and captain Eamon Powell went high short side with the man advantage from outside the right dot in the period's final minute to knot the score.
Leonard's goal was his ninth in the last nine games as the rookie extended his point streak to nine games.
Lund's game-winner came off a 2-on-1 with six minutes left in regulation as he one-timed a cross-ice pass from Jack Williams inside the left post. Lund added an empty-netter in the closing minutes to complete his hat trick.
Boston College was 2-for-5 on the power play and 3-for-3 on the penalty kill.
The teams meet again on Saturday night at Matthews Arena to close the home-and-home series with faceoff set for 8 p.m. on ESPN+ and TSN+ in Canada.
