HOW IT HAPPENED

New Hampshire held a 2-0 lead after the first intermission and a 4-2 advantage after two but the Terriers drew even both times by getting goals from four members of their sophomore class.
Jakob Forsbacka Karlsson scored the game-tying goal with 4:24 left in regulation and assisted on two other tallies.
UNH held a 2-0 lead after the first intermission and a 4-2 lead after two.
Jordan Greenway got BU on the board at 6:17 of the second to cut the visitors' lead to 2-1 before Bobo Carpenter converted on a power-play rush less than three minutes later to make it a 2-2 affair.
The Wildcats regained a two-goal edge before the end of the middle stanza on goals from Dylan Chanter and Tyler Kelleher at 11:00 and 19:20, respectively.
BU's second comeback started just 20 seconds into the third when a seeing-eye shot by Charlie McAvoy from the right point got through traffic to beat UNH netminder Danny Tirone and create a 4-3 score.
The Terriers, who held a 17-4 shot advantage in the third, created the second tie of the game when Forsbacka Karlsson won a faceoff, allowing Greenway to fire at the goal from the foot of the left circle. Tirone saved the shot but Forsbacka Karlsson was there to clean up the rebound.
Tirone made 40 saves for UNH while freshman netminder Jake Oettinger recorded 20 stops in goal for BU.
