BOSTON – The No. 2 Boston University men's ice hockey team skated to a 5-5 tie against Prince Edward Island in an exhibition contest on Sunday afternoon at Agganis Arena.

Freshman Brady Tkachuk scored two goals, including the game-tying tally, and added an assist while sophomore Chad Krys also had a three-point night with a goal and two helpers.

• After BU took a 3-1 lead with six minutes left in the second period, the visiting Panthers rallied put together a 4-1 run over a span of 13 minutes to take a 5-4 lead with 12:32 left in regulation. 
• Tkachuk scored BU's fourth power-play goal of the contest with 6:12 left in the third to send it to overtime, where the Terriers held a 5-1 shot advantage but could not muster a winner.
• Sophomore Patrick Curry opened the scoring 6:50 into the proceedings with BU's only even-strength goal of the night.

• Senior Brandon Hickey created the 3-1 cushion for BU with a power-play marker from a tough angle at 14:00 of the second but the Panthers came right back 17 seconds later with a tally from Nathan Yetman to get back within a goal.
