Box Score Highlights Coach Pandolfo Postgame

BOSTON — The No. 19 Boston University men's ice hockey team powered its way to an 8-2 victory over the Simon Fraser Red Leafs in an exhibition at Agganis Arena Saturday.

The Terriers (9-8-1, 6-5-0 HE) dominated the Red Leafs (4-10-2) as BU outshot Simon Fraser 52-19 and had six different scorers tally marks.

Sophomore Sacha Boisvert and junior Jack Harvey each tallied two goals. Freshman Ryder Ritchie notched a goal and two assists, classmate Jonathan Morello put up a goal and an assist and sophomore Brandon Svoboda and freshman Jack Murtagh each scored a goal in the win.

Freshman Conrad Fondrk posted four assists, senior Owen McLaughlin notched three assists, junior Mick Frechette recorded two assists and freshman John McNelis, sophomore Nick Roukounakis and freshman Kyle Kim all had a helper each.

All three dressed goalies split time in net, with sophomore Mikhail Yegorov making eight saves, junior Max Lacroix making nine saves and freshman Steven Luciano seeing his first action in the arched Boston in the final 3:24 of the game.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Boisvert knocked in a shot from the right wing just 6:02 into the game to give BU a 1-0 lead off a feed from Fondrk.
At 9:12, Murtagh streaked ahead, got behind the defense and a pass from Fondrk found his tape as he deked around the goaltender and tucked the puck home for a 2-0 lead.
Ritchie was the next scorer, going bar down over the goaltender's right shoulder at 15:25 in the first.
Morello closed out the four-goal first period with a wraparound tally, hustling around defenders and depositing the puck in the net with 35 seconds remaining in the frame.
The Red Leafs would score their first goal at 1:46 in the second period.
At 3:58 in the frame, Harvey got on the board with a one-timer off assists from McLaughlin and Kim.
Boisvert scored another power-play goal at 4:24 of the final period, this time pausing before firing the puck just under the crossbar.
At 8:31 in the third, Simon Fraser's Matteo Speranza scored to make it 6-2 BU.
With 9:30 remaining, Svoboda notched a goal after a pass from Frechette found his stick in front of the net and he could backhand it home through the five-hole.
Harvey's second goal was also a one-timer on the power play, as he was all alone in the slot and fired it home for the eighth BU goal of the game.

GAME NOTES

The eight goals are the most the Terriers have scored this season and are the most in any exhibition contest since the 8-2 win over the U.S. National Development Team on Oct. 6, 2016.
The Terriers went 3-for-8 on the power play and held the Red Leafs scoreless on their lone power-play opportunity.
Both freshman Carter Amico and junior Aiden Celebrini each blocked three shots.
Freshmen combined for 12 of the Terriers' 23 points.

UP NEXT

The Terriers will return to Hockey East play with a home-and-home series with UMass beginning Friday, Jan. 9 in Amherst and concluding Saturday (Jan. 10) at Agganis Arena. Friday's puck drop is set for 7 p.m. and Saturday's is scheduled for 6 p.m.
