DURHAM, N.H. - The Boston University men's ice hockey team picked up its first win of 2018 on Friday evening with a 3-2 road triumph over New Hampshire at the Whittemore Center.

Down 2-1 early in the second period, freshman Ty Amonte tied the game before junior Jordan Greenway provided the game winner to help the Terriers improve to 9-11-1 overall and 7-7-1 in Hockey East play.

Freshman Shane Bowers also scored for the Terriers, who got a 26-save performance from Jake Oettinger. The sophomore netminder was outstanding down the stretch, especially on a late UNH power play.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Bowers opened the scoring 4:26 into the game off a power-play rebound with assists from senior Brandon Hickey and freshman Brady Tkachuk.
UNH got an equalizer at 14:48 of the first when Eric MacAdams raced to a puck that bounced off the end boards and somehow found an opening after Oettinger closed off the near post.
The Wildcats took the lead when Jason Salvaggio finished off a 2-on-1 on a feed from MacAdams just 1:18 into the middle period.
The freshman duo of Amonte and Hank Crone teamed up to draw BU even as Crone found his classmate in the right slot at 6:44 of the second.
Greenway notched the game winner with 1:45 left in the second when he curled around the back of the net and pounced on a rebound from a Tkachuk shot, tucking it right in between the right post and the skate of UNH netminder Adam Clark.
Both of UNH's power plays came in the final 12 minutes of regulation but Oettinger and the penalty kill stood tall to secure the victory.

GAME NOTES

BU held a 38-28 shot advantage and was 1-of-4 on the power play.
Bowers is now tied with junior Bobo Carpenter for the team lead in goals with nine.
After taking a 1-0 lead, the Terriers had two goals overturned later in the first period after video replay determined that Carpenter and Greenway kicked pucks in.
Sophomore Patrick Curry and senior Drew Melanson each earned an assist.
UNH was paced by Salvaggio and MacAdams, who each recorded a goal and an assist.
In his first game since winning the gold medal with Canada at World Juniors, sophomore Dante Fabbro had a team-best plus-2 rating and led all skaters with four blocked shots.
The Terriers were without the services of their top point-scorer as sophomore Patrick Harper is recovering from an illness.
