There were some surprises on Friday night, as conference postseason tournaments got underway with the openers of best-of-three series in most NCAA Division I men's hockey leagues.
In ECAC Hockey, Princeton recorded just its fifth win of the 2019-20 season in edging host Dartmouth, 4-3, in overtime. Finn Evans tied the game for the Tigers with 2:45 remaining in regulation, before Reid Yochim connected for the game-winner 3:36 into the extra session. Christian O'Neill scored twice for Princeton, which got 25 saves from Jeremie Forget.
In the Big Ten, Trevor Janicke tallied the game's only goal late in the second period as visiting Notre Dame blanked No. 19 Minnesota, 1-0. Cale Morris stopped all 12 shots he faced for the Fighting Irish.
In the WCHA, Tim Theocharidis and Frederic Letourneau scored power-play goals late in the third period as Bowling Green bested host Alaska (Fairbanks), 4-2. Eric Dop made 19 saves for the victorious Falcons.
In Atlantic Hockey, Brendan Walkom scored twice and Jonathan Desbiens set up three goals for Bentley, which routed visiting Canisius, 6-1. Aidan Pelino picked up the win for the Falcons with 18 saves.
Hockey East and the NCHC will both complete their regular seasons this weekend before starting their respective playoffs late next week.
