Huskies goalie Brad Thiessen made 24 saves en route to his ninth career shutout as Northeastern beat UMass Lowell, 3-0, on Friday night at Matthews Arena. Freshman Mike McLaughlin scored the only goal the Huskies needed at 8:02 in the first period and Steve Silva and Jim Driscoll followed with insurance goals.
Northeastern improved to 21-8-4 overall and 16-5-3 in Hockey East with the victory while UMass Lowell fell to 15-14-2 and 12-10-2. The teams rematch at Tsongas Arena on Saturday at 7 p.m.
UMass Lowell came out with early momentum until McLaughlin's score. Alex Tuckerman passed the puck behind the goal to Kyle Kraemer and Kraemer passed it back to Tuckerman beyond the goal line on the right side. Tuckerman fired a pass to McLaughlin in front and he roofed past UMass Lowell goaltender Nevin Hamilton to make it 1-0 at 8:02 in the first period.
Northeastern added to the lead just over two minutes later with Silva's goal. David Strathman passed the puck through the neutral zone on to McLaughlin on the left side and McLaughlin took it in along the boards. He centered a pass toward Silva, who got a stick on it and redirected it toward the net. The bouncing puck got past Hamilton to make it 2-0 at 10:11.
Driscoll made it 3-0 just 3:08 into the second period. Randy Guzior took the puck into the zone on the right side and passed it to Driscoll in the slot. Driscoll beat Hamilton with a dart past his stick side for the score.
UMass Lowell outshot NU, 14-6, in the second period but couldn't get a shot past Thiessen. UML's Jeremy Dehner got three shots on net and three other players got a pair on goal but couldn't beat Thiessen.
The third period saw Northeastern outshoot UMass Lowell, 9-8. UML's Matt Ferreira got two shots up close and Patrick Cey made a nice deflection that Thiessen saved.
With the victory, Thiessen improved his season numbers to 21-8-4 with a 2.13 goals against average and a .931 save percentage. The shutout was Thiessen's third of the season and the ninth of his career, which extends his NU record.
