UConn men’s hockey took down the top-seeded Northeastern Huskies 4-1 in the Hockey East semifinals at TD Garden to advance to the championship game on Saturday. They’ll play in the tournament final on Saturday at 7 p.m. EST against the winner of UMass and UMass Lowell.
Mike Cavanaugh’s squad scored first off the stick of Vladislav Firstov and although Northeastern tied it shortly afterward, the Storrs Huskies responded with three unanswered goals from Roman Kinal, Ryan Tverberg, and Marc Gatcomb (empty-netter) to earn the victory.
Goaltender Darion Hanson was spectacular for the Huskies once again, stopping 23 of the 24 shots he faced.
