Recapping last night's game at Providence
Sophomore
Josh Manson scored another goal as did rookie
Ryan Belonger, but the Northeastern's men's hockey team ran into a red-hot office as Providence downed the Huskies, 6-2, on Friday night at Schneider Arena. Providence's penalty-killing unit curbed NU's power play tear, stopping all five of the Huskies' chances. Senior goaltender
Bryan Mountain earned his eight start of the season and stopped 28-of-34 shots in the loss. Northeastern outshot the Friars, 37-34, and Jon Gillies earned his 12th win of the season by turning back 35 Huskies' attempts.
Zak Stone and
Steve Morra acquired their first points since the Jan. 26 contest at UMass Lowell. Stone has three assists on the season while Morra has a scoring line of 2-4-6. Newcomer
Dustin Darou scored his first point of the season since coming back from his injury with his fifth assist of the year. The Perth, Ontario, native curbed a 14-game scoreless drought.
Focusing on the Friars
Speaking of ties, Providence has not shied away from stalemates as of late. The Friars have skated to four draws in their six five outings to rest at an overall mark of 12-10-7. Providence has settled nicely into its unique barn that is Schneider Arena with a 7-3-3 mark at home compared to a 5-7-4 mark on the road. PC does not possess a breakout player on its roster but likes to spread the scoring around having 11 skaters with 10 points or more. Derek Army sits at the top of the Friars' scoring heap with a scoring line of 13-9-22 while Tim Schaller (6-13-19) leads PC in the assists column. First-year goaltender Jon Gillies has been the story, with national top-20 stats in save percentage (.931 – 12th) and goals against average (2.10 – 17th). Gillies is also tied for second in the NCAA with four shutouts. Gillies anchors PC's 17th-ranked defense (2.41 gpg) while the Friars' offense is slotted 26th nationally (2.86).
Notes from Friday at Providence
• Sophomore
Josh Manson's physical play all night yielded his first-career goal-scoring streak. The Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, native tallied his first-career goal on Feb. 19 at UMass, in overtime game-winning fashion, and followed that with his second-career goal in consecutive games on Friday night at Providence.
•
Ryan Belonger pieced together his second-career point streak by scoring his third-career goal on Friday night at Providence. The Green Bay, Wis., native assisted on
Robbie Vrolyk's goal on Feb. 19 at UMass. Belonger's first-career point streak occurred through the first two games of the season against Merrimack (0-1-1 • Oct. 10) and Boston College (1-0-1 • Oct. 13).
