WAKEFIELD, Mass.— No. 18 Northeastern's Aidan McDonough has been named Hockey East's Co-Player of the Week, announced by the conference office on Monday. McDonough led the Huskies with five goals in the weekend sweep over UNH. The 6-foot-2 forward notched his first career hat trick on Friday night in a 6-2 win (story) with three power play goals and was the first Husky to accomplish that feat since Cody Ferriero had three power play goals in a game at Harvard (12/29/12). It was also the Huskies first hat trick since Tyler Madden vs. Maine last season (11/22/19). He would tally another power play goal during Saturday's 5-4 win (story) along with scoring the game winning goal with just under four minutes left in the third period. McDonough added an assist as well for a career-high six points in a weekend series.
