LAST TIME IN THE 'POT: In the 2023 Beanpot Semifinals, the No. 20/17 Northeastern Huskies took down No. 3 Boston University by a score of 3-1 at TD Garden on Monday night. Leading nearly wire to wire, the Huskies held the Terriers off the scoreboard for 58 minutes of the contest and sealed the victory with an empty-netter with 30 seconds to go. Northeastern notched three goals from three separate goal-scorers, with a total of seven Huskies tallying points in the game. Senior Aidan McDonough opened scoring 14 minutes into the opening period, followed by their second goal of the night 1:48 into the second period by Jakov Novak. After the Terriers cut the lead in half, Hunter McDonald tallied an empty-net goal, with 30.2 seconds remaining in the game, for his first as a Husky. Novak collected an assist on the goal for a two-point evening. Devon Levi finished with 33 saves on 34 attempts - his record improves to 14-9-3 on the season. The Huskies as a team finished the night a perfect 4/4 on the penalty kill. It's the largest margin of victory for the Huskies over the Terriers in the tournament since the 2018 finals (5-2).
