In a spirited back-and-forth matinee affair, Northeastern’s Aidan McDonough scored the only goal in a shootout to earn the extra point in the Hockey East standings after the No. 12 Huskies skated to a 3-3 draw against No. 19 Providence.<\/p>\n

Northeastern goaltender Connor Murphy, who finished the game with 36 saves, stopped all three shots he faced in the shootout.<\/p>\n

“At the end of the day, [Connor] has done a real good job for us, made some real big saves down the stretch,” said Northeastern coach Jim Madigan of his goaltender’s play on Saturday. “He continues to make progress each and every start. He’s a pretty balanced young man and you can see that in his game. I thought he battled real well tonight.”<\/p>\n
