Behind goals from Kamil Bednarik And Charlie Trethewey and another top performance from the goalkeeper Mikhail Yegorov#18 Terriers claimed a 2-1 home win against Vermont Macklin Celebrini Bobblehead night.

After being thoroughly dominated in the opening period, the Catamounts flipped the script in the middle period, keeping BU locked up for long stretches and forcing Big Mike to flash the glove and speed that has made him a top player in the NHL.

“Great start. Really good first period,” coach Jay Parolfo said, afterplay. “You know, I was disappointed that we only came out of the first period with one lead. But in the second period we just came out all the way. Really disappointed with our second period.”

Although the last period was better, Pandolfo emphasized, “It’s not good enough. I don’t know if our guys thought it would be easy… We started cheating the game. We stopped playing as a team. That’s what I saw.”

“We got the win and we had to get the win. But we got away from it.”

Terriers got their skating game going quickly, applying pressure – and 13 shots—on goalkeeper Axel Manbo. They were also solid defensively, limiting Vermont to four shots on goal, blocking five shots and killing two Bednarik penalties.

BU got on the board at 2:44 while in the offensive zone. After Cole HutsonThe Blueline’s shot sailed over the UVM cage, Jack Harvey beat a defender with the loose puck. He quickly passed to Bednarik whose wrist shot from the right faceoff dot beat Mangbo high to the glove side for his fourth goal.

Terriers started the second period with a carryover power play, but the best scoring opportunity was a short try that Yegorov denied. BU would have two more power plays in this period, but could only put seven shots on goal, while UVM peppered Yegorov with seventeen shots.

BU’s best scoring opportunity came just before the second power play when Sacha Boisvert hit an iron shot.

Yegorov’s brilliance saved his teammates and kept Vermont off the board. His best save came midway through the period, when he snared Massimo Lombardi’s effort from just outside the crease.


BU doubled the lead at 14:38 when Boisvert carried the puck along the left boards at the end of a power play, drawing a big crowd. His cross-ice pass arrived in the right circle just as Trethewey skated in from the point and sent a hard wrister past Mangbo seconds after the man advantage ended. It was his first collegiate goal and gave the Terriers a very fortunate two-goal lead. Harvey picked up his second assist.

With just over two minutes left in the second period, UVM’s Matteo Michaels drove into a breakaway on Yegorov, but was sent aside.

Vermont ended Yegorov’s shutout bid nine minutes into the final period. Caeden HerringtonThe shot from the point was blocked. Jonas Aegerter tracked down the loose puck in the right circle, turned and fired it off the post to Yegorov’s left.

The Catamounts’ best chances at an equalizer came when they pulled Mangbo for an extra skater, creating two final scoring chances, but Yegorov, whose performance was called “outstanding” by Pandolfo, came up big to seal the victory.

BU went 0-for-3 on power plays while killing both penalties. A strong third-period faceoff gave BU a 33-27 lead on draws.
