UConn men’s hockey defeats UNH in overtime, 3-2

UConn men’s hockey got a badly-needed 3-2 victory in overtime on Saturday to avoid a sweep at the hands of the New Hampshire Wildcats.

The Huskies took a 2-1 lead with a pair of goals in the second period but UNH tied it with just under six minutes to play. In overtime, Kevin O’Neil sent a perfect pass to Jonny Evans on the back-post, who fired home the sudden death game-winner.

With the victory, UConn salvages two points (of six total) from the weekend and improves to 10-10-0 on the season.
