Curry pinballs one in
Deadlocked through 27 minutes, the game found its opening goal when Patrick Curry whacked a rebound off a pair of skates in front and through Pantano to give BU the lead.
DeMelis misses up close
Matt DeMelis had a golden opportunity to tie the game on Northeastern’s first power play of the night later in the second, but his tip on Ryan Shea’s slick pass went wide against a gaping frame.
Crotty cuts to make it two
On a tour of the offensive zone late in the second, Trevor Zegras slid the puck to David Farrance, who fed a slashing Cam Crotty to deposit his fourth goal of the season from the slot.
Skoog tips in a third
After winning the puck to keep the possession alive, Wilmer Skoog got a piece of Kasper Kotkansalo’s long shot to redirect the puck past Pantano just over five minutes into the third period.
Van Riemsdyk hits the bar
With Northeastern in search of a miracle late in the third period, Brendan Van Riemsdyk fired a bad-angle shot that caromed off the crossbar and sat in the crease until Trevor Zegras swatted it away.
