Despite senior forward Kyle Kraemer’s first goal of the season, Northeastern was outshot, 34-18, in a 5-1 loss at Boston College on Saturday night. The Huskies surrendered two powerplay goals at Conte Forum while rookie netminder Chris Rawlings steered away 29 shots in the setback.
Freshman defenseman Chris Student logged his first-career point with help on Kraemer’s tally while junior blueliner Mike Hewkin strung together his first-career pointstreak with the second assist.
Kraemer drew first blood at 4:23 of the first on a nifty dish from Student on the far post. After a cycle along the boards, Student’s crisp pass from behind the net was able to knock BC goalie John Muse off his bearings, leaving Kraemer with a nice look at the net. Kraemer needled it past Muse on the one-timer for the 1-0 lead. Hewkin set the play with the first pass to Student.
After Kraemer's tally, the Eagles rattled off five straight.
Rawlings’ scoreless streak was put to rest at 10:39 of the first frame after Philip Samuelsson unleashed a slapshot from the left circle to knot the game at 1-1. Matt Lombardi assembled the play by redirecting the puck from the slot, enabling Samuelsson with a clear path to the cage. Rawlings did not get a good look at the puck due to a nice screen by the Eagles’ forwards.
It took Boston College 28 seconds to cash in on its 5 x 3 opportunity at 5:15 of the second stanza. A junior Wade MacLeod interference call and a senior Greg Costa hooking call marred NU’s early second period momentum. Ben Smith deposited a loose carom from Carl Sneep’s original attempt at 5:15 to establish a 2-1 lead.
The Eagles doubled up at 10:39 of the second after Cam Atkinson was the beneficiary of a broken up play on the far boards. Pat Mullane pulled the puck out of a five-skater pile and provided the puck for Atkinson in the slot with a point-blank wrister for the 3-1 advantage.
Kraemer’s holding the stick call 32 seconds into the third period gave way to BC’s second powerplay tally of the evening. Paul Carey redirected Sneep’s original wrist shot for the 4-1 cushion at 2:07.
Brian Gibbons found the back of the net moments later at 3:27 off of Smith’s rebound. Gibbons corralled the loose deflection and shoveled the puck underneath Rawlings’ pad to cap the scoring, 5-1.
Sophomore Alex Tuckerman was awarded NU’s first penalty shot since Steve Quailer’s conversion against Merrimack on Jan. 9, 2009 at 18:21 in the third period. The sophomore forward was hauled down from behind with a nice opportunity to warrant the freebie. Tuckerman was not able to connect on his attempt.
Northeastern returns home for a three-game home stand when the Huskies host Maine on Friday, Nov. 13 at 7 p.m. Boston College hosts Vermont at Conte Forum the same night at 7 p.m.
