No. 8 UConn men’s hockey dropped its first home game of the season, losing to the No. 12 Merrimack Warriors, 7-3. After the Huskies’ 3-1 win on Tuesday, the two teams split the season series.
In the second period, Merrimack turned a 1-1 game into a 5-3 advantage, UConn failed to contain its frustration with the officials and let it seep into its play on the ice. The Warriors added an insurance goal early in the third and an empty netter in the final moments to secure the victory.
Chase Bradley, Justin Pearson, and Samu Salminen scored for the Huskies.
