LAST NIGHT AT MATTHEWS

• Despite holding three separate one-goal leads in the third period, the Terriers settled for a 4-4 draw with the Huskies on Friday night. 
• Freshman Clayton Keller gave the Terriers a 4-3 lead at 15:44 of the third with his second goal of the night but the Huskies potted an extra-attacker goal with 55.6 seconds left to force the third tie of the third. 
• The Huskies opened the scoring 6:57 into the game on a 5-on-3 advantage before Keller executed a shorthanded wraparound 17 seconds later.
• Freshman Patrick Curry used a nifty redirect from the inner edge of the right circle to record his first collegiate goal and give BU a 2-1 lead at 17:22 of the first.
• The teams then went exactly 25 minutes without a goal before the Huskies drew even at 2-2 with another power-play tally 2:22 into the third.
• A tip-in at the foot of slot by sophomore Jordan Greenway at 8:55 of the third allowed BU to regain the lead at 3-2.
• That advantage was wiped out just over two minutes later when Northeastern got a goal from Dylan Sikura, making it a 3-3 affair.
• BU held a 36-30 shot advantage and went 1-of-7 on the power play.
