BOSTON -- Six different goal scorers and 29 saves from
Cayden Primeau sparked the No. 11/10Â Northeastern hockey team (20-8-5, 14-6-3) to an 8-0 victory on senior night over New Hampshire (10-17-6, 5-13-5) on Friday night at Matthews Arena.
Northeastern currently sits one point ahead of Providence in the Hockey East standings and can lock down the No. 2 seed with a victory at UNH tomorrow night. It would mark NU's highest finish in the conference since 2008-09.
Senior

Adam Gaudette (one goal, two assists) led the scoring charge for the Huskies with three points each. Junior
Patrick Schule posted his first career two-goal game as he scored NU's second and third goals of the contest.
Freshman
Austin Goldstein (two assists) and sophomore
Biagio Lerario (one goal, one assist) each scored two points for the first time in their NU careers.

NU's power play went 2-for-5 on the evening with Sikura potting each goal on the man advantage. He now has a team-high 12 power play goals this season.
Primeau stopped all 29 shots that came his way before being relieved for senior
