Adam Gaudette scored three goals and Jeremy Davies tallied three assists as the Northeastern University Huskies won their first Beanpot Tournament in 30 years with a 5-2 victory over the Boston University Terriers on Monday night at TD Garden in Boston.
Northeastern head coach and alumnus Jim Madigan has now been a part of four of Northeastern's five all-time Beanpot titles—two as a player, one as an assistant coach, and one as a head coach. Huskies goaltender Cayden Primeau, son of retired NHL player Keith Primeau, made it possible with 38 saves, inclduing 29 stops over the final two periods, as NU recorded three power-play goals on the night and claimed the Beanpot for the first time since 1988.
After spotting BU a 1-0 lead early on, the Huskies responded with four unanswered scores to lead, 4-1, after 40 minutes. BU got within 4-2 with 2:40 remaining in regulation, before Gaudette sealed his hat trick and the game with an empty-net goal in the final minute of play. Jake Oettinger made 22 saves for the Terriers, who also got a goal and an assist from Logan Cockerill.
Harvard University, which won the Beanpot last year for the first time since 1993, defeated Boston College, 5-4 in overtime, in the consolation game.
