Maine 5, BU 4 (OT)

 

Well, that sucks - No. 12 Maine just upset No. 5 BU in overtime up in Orono.

With an injured Cole Eiserman out of the game, BU's Cole Hutson scored first, but Maine tied it up within four seconds. Ryder Ritchie gave BU the lead back on a power play late in the first, but Maine tied it up again midway through the second. 

And so the game went - BU scored, and Maine answered each time. Ben Merrill scored in the second and Sascha Boumedienne scored in the third, but regulation ended with a 4-4 tie. Maine scored early in the sudden-death OT, and that was it for Halloween night in Orono. 

BU drops to 3-4-1 overall and 1-2-0 in Hockey East. The only consolation is this was Maine's first conference win, and they only get two points for an OT win, while BU picks up one point for an OT loss.  

The teams will stay in Maine and play again tomorrow night, same time, same arena.
