The Terriers struggled to generate any kind of offense in the first two periods of Saturday’s matinee with Providence (17-10-3, 13-8-2 Hockey East) at Walter Brown Arena. But when BU (20-9-1, 17-5-1 HE) finally broke through — with a Sydney Healey goal partway through the third period — it never looked back in a 3-1 win.
BU started too slow, then took too many penalties, to defeat the defending Hockey East champions.
Head coach Jay Pandolfo was disappointed in the Terriers’ effort in the loss.
BU was dominated in the first 30 minutes, and couldn’t climb out of the hole it dug itself.
With the program’s first Hockey East regular season title in 12 seasons in sight, BU hosts two of the league’s best teams in a critical split-series.
Law buried the winner immediately after taking the ice for the first time in overtime, giving BU a statement win over a powerhouse opponent.
After a slow start, the Terrier offense was no match for the Crimson, scoring five goals in the second period and outshooting Harvard 38-27.
The Terriers will face Harvard in the Beanpot semifinal at TD Garden, which begins at 5 p.m.
The Terriers were excellent defensively and on the power play in the win over the Catamounts.
BU struggled to play its slow-paced game, but against one of Hockey East’s most talented teams, made enough plays to take all three points.
