TEMPE, Ariz. - The Boston University men's ice hockey team completed a weekend sweep of Arizona State with a 4-3 victory on Saturday evening at Oceanside Ice Arena.
Sophomore Dante Fabbro tallied a goal and two assists and was one of three defensemen who lit the lamp for the Terriers. Freshman Shane Bowers provided the eventual game-winner to help BU stretch its unbeaten streak to six games (5-0-1) and improve to 13-11-2 on the year.
HOW IT HAPPENED
- After posting an 8-0 win in the series opener on Friday, BU picked up where it left off as senior captain Brandon Hickey scored a power-play goal 7:58 into the game before his d-partner, Fabbro, made it 2-0 less than four minutes later.
- It took a 5-on-3 power play for the Sun Devils to finally solve BU netminder Jake Oettinger as Johnny Walker got the home team on the board 54 seconds into the second.
- A shorthanded goal by ASU's Jacob Wilson made it a 2-2 affair at the 7:24 mark of the second but senior Brien Diffley gave BU the lead back for good just 19 seconds later.
- A rebound attempt by Bowers that was initially ruled a no-goal ended up being overturned, giving the Terriers a 4-2 advantage with 11:19 left in regulation.
- ASU made things interesting when a power-play shot from the top of the zone by David Norris bounced through traffic and in with 5:20 to play.
- Oettinger and the Terrier defense held on to extend the team's win streak to four games.
GAME NOTES
- The teams combined for 33 penalties and 117 penalty minutes, including five 10-minute misconducts and the Sun Devils' second game misconduct in as many nights.
- BU held a 41-21 shot advantage but went just 1-for-8 on the power play.
- ASU got a 37-save effort from Joey Daccord and scored on two of its seven chances with the man advantage.
- Senior Drew Melanson had his first two-assist game as a Terrier.
- Fabbro led all players in points (3) and rating (+3).
- Wilson's tally for the Sun Devils marked the first time all season that BU gave up a shorthanded goal. Oettinger has given up just one even-strength goal in the past 235 minutes of play.
UP NEXT
- The Terriers will return to Hockey East play when they visit Amherst on Friday (Feb. 2) for their first meeting of the season with Massachusetts.
- The game, which starts at 7 p.m., will be televised on NESN and ElevenSports.
