UConn men’s hockey received an apology from Hockey East Supervisor of Officials Brian Murphy for a goaltender interference call that wiped out the Huskies’ go-ahead goal in the third period of an eventual 5-2 loss to Northeastern on Saturday.
“It was a bad call. It happens in hockey,” head coach Mike Cavanaugh said on 97.9 ESPN’s Coaches’ Show Tuesday. “The director of officials for Hockey East apologized (and said) it was the wrong call.”
Early in the third period, UConn went on the power play less than 20 seconds after Northeastern tied the game at 2-2.
