Recapping the win at UMass last night
The Northeastern men's hockey team (5-7-1, 3-6-1) curbed a five-game winless road streak thanks to the astute play of senior goaltender
Chris Rawlings in a 1-0 shutout at Massachusetts on Friday night at the Mullins Center. The North Delta, B.C., native stopped all 31 shots en route to his 11th-career shutout in his 106th appearance as a Husky. Sophomore
Adam Reid's short-handed game-winner at the 17:13 of the second period lifted the Huskies to their first Hockey East victory since topping Boston College, 3-1, on Oct. 13. The triumph also stands as Northeastern's first road victory of the season. Reid now has three game-winning goal accredited to his name on seven career lamplighters. Rookie
Dustin Darou assisted on the play for his third-career assist at NU. Northeastern's win at the Mullins Center marks the Huskies' first victory on a Friday night this season. Previously, NU was 0-4-0.
Minute on the Minutemen
After starting 1-3 with games against two of the league's top two teams in Boston College and Boston University, the Minutemen have righted the ship and amassed a mark of 3-3-2 in their last eight outings. UMass knocked off UConn (4-1) to start the season and have also picked up conference wins against UNH (2-1 OT), Providence (4-0) and Vermont (3-1). Conor Sheary leads Massachusetts' scoring efforts (2-7-9) and is tied for 59th in the country averaging 0.64 helpers per game. Conor Allen ranks 41st in the NCAA amongst scoring defensemen with 0.64 points per game (3-4-7). Through 11 games, UMass' standout player has been second-year goaltender Kevin Boyle. Boyle ranks sixth in the country in both goals against average (1.53) and save percentage (.939). The Minutemen's offense ranks 34th in the NCAA (2.4 gpg) while the defense is slotted 33rd (2.82 gpg).
