No. 18 Terriers Edged at No. 11 Providence, 4-3

Box Score

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Freshman Tynan Lawrence scored his first collegiate goal and sophomore Cole Eiserman twice lit the lamp, but the No. 18 Boston University men's ice hockey team fell at No. 11 Providence, 4-3, on Friday night at Schneider Arena.

BU (12-11-1, 8-8-0 HE) twice tied the game in the third period, but Providence (14-7-2, 9-3-1 HE) scored with 2:41 remaining in regulation to escape with the win.

Sophomore Brandon Svoboda assisted on both of Eiserman's strikes. Sophomore Mikhail Yegorov finished the night with 36 saves.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Providence struck first just 7:00 into the proceedings with a power-play goal and added another on its second man advantage of the period at the 11:32 mark.
BU had back-to-back power plays of its own at the end of the period but was unable to break through, with Eiserman coming closest to getting a goal back with a shot that rang the left post.
Eiserman eventually found the back of the net just 3:14 into the second stanza. Svoboda won an offensive-zone draw directly to Eiserman who quickly fired home his ninth goal of the season.
Lawrence equalized just 28 seconds into the third period. He dangled through a defender in the neutral zone and skated up the left wing into the offensive end. He evaded a backchecking Friar and uncorked a shot that beat Jack Parsons (15 saves) short side over the blocker.
Yegorov kept the game tied with 14:08 left in the third when he denied Clint Levens' penalty shot attempt.
Providence regained its lead at the 11:40 mark of the third but Eiserman answered just 1:09 later. In a similar play to the first goal, Svoboda won an offensive-zone draw back to Eiserman, who quickly fired the puck past Parsons.
The Friars took advantage of a turnover in the BU zone to take the lead for good in the final minutes and then benefited from a penalty call with just 1:51 on the clock that effectively iced the game.

GAME NOTES

Eiserman became the first Terrier to reach double digits in goals this season.
Lawrence is the eighth different Terrier freshman to light the lamp this year.
Yegorov has turned aside both penalty shot attempts he has faced this season.
This was Svoboda's second multi-assist game of the year, with his first coming during a four-point night (2g, 2a) at Maine on Nov. 1.
