Madigan on Pantano: “We’re fortunate to have Craig join us as a grad transfer this year and we look for him to stabilize our goaltending position with the loss of Cayden Primeau. He has tremendous experience, is very quick and agile in net, and he comes to Northeastern with the ability to help lead our team this year to another championship. We look and expect him to come in and play a lot of games for Northeastern and he’s excited to be a Husky.
