Here we go.

NU coach Greg Cronin is sending his third line out to start (Costa-Silva- Donovan). They're up against the UMass fourth line (Saunders-Virtue- Davis)


Just 48 seconds in, Minuteman Chris Davis gets two for interference. NU needs to start taking advantage of their PP, which has been stagnant the past few games.


Huskies can't take advantage on the man edge. Could this give UMass a boost to start the game?


At 4:09 NU's Denis Chisolm gets sent to the box for cross checking. Huskies haven't looked much different from last night. A goal here would be absolutely devastating for NU's morale.


Just under a minute into the PP, a UMass player rips a shot on Brad Thiessen. He's there to make the save and is in position again, making a great save when a UMass players collects the rebound and slaps another shot in.

NU has killed the PP.


NU's Kyle Kraemer takes a pass from Steve Quailer and rips a shot from the top of the right circle, but it clangs off the post. Seconds later, Wade MacLeod has another shot go right off the post.

Huskies have another chance with the man advantage. Alex Berry gets two for taking down David Strathman by the Northeastern net. 11:09 left in the first.

Edit: Make that a hooking call against Berry.

The Huskies can't convert that PP. Interesting to note that Kraemer is back on the fourth line.
On another note, Paul Dainton is looking down right filthy in the roughly three and a half periods of playoff hockey he's played.


Again, the Huskies have a PP. T.J. Syner is in the box for UMass.

Edit: Different shift, same result for NU. They can't convert on the PP, looking very tentative.
