From the FreeP: Men’s hockey satisfied with 3–3 draw vs PC

By Annie Maroon/DFP Staff
Given the number of momentum swings and lead changes at Agganis Arena Saturday, a 3–3 tie could seem like an unsatisfying outcome for the Boston University men’s hockey team against Providence College.

BU (13–9–1, 10–6–1 Hockey East) coach Jack Parker didn’t see it that way, though.

“The best part of that game was the fact that they came right out and scored in the third, and we had to come back twice to get a tie out of it,” Parker said.

BU outshot Providence (10–10–4, 8–6–3 HE) 31–29 despite lagging behind the Friars for much of the game. Freshman goalie Matt O’Connor, while still not quite playing in his early-season form, held off the Friars late in the game to keep them from leaving Boston with two points.
