BOSTON, Mass. - Junior Bobo Carpenter scored his seventh goal against UConn this season at 5:02 of overtime to lift the No. 20 Boston University men's ice hockey team to a 5-4 victory over the Huskies on Friday evening in the opening game of their best-of-three Hockey East quarterfinal series at Agganis Arena.
The Terriers won their 11th straight home playoff game to improve to 18-13-4 on the season and move one victory away from a trip to TD Garden for the Hockey East semifinals.
Sophomore Chad Krys scored the game-tying goal with 4:38 left in regulation and added a pair of assists while junior Jordan Greenway tallied a pair of goals.
