It was a crazy 20 minutes, but UConn men’s hockey picked up a much-needed win against Merrimack at the XL Center Tuesday night.
After two scoreless periods, Merrimack got on the board 1:07 into the third. Three minutes later, UConn was up 3-1 after Jachym Kondelik, Roman Kinal, and Jonny Evans scored the game-tying, go-ahead, and insurance goals, respectively. That stretch powered the Huskies to victory over the No. 19 team in the country.
The Huskies snapped the Warriors’ five-game winning streak and improve to 11-10-0 overall, 8-6-0 in Hockey East play.
“I just thought that was a real gutsy win for our team tonight,” head coach Mike Cavanaugh said.
