After two periods, it’s a 1-1 tie between Maine and Boston College in the second Frozen Four semifinal Thursday.<\/p>\n
Jon Jankus had the first-period goal for Maine, Ryan Shannon tied it up for BC early in the second, and Maine goaltender Jimmy Howard put on a show of his own.<\/p>\n

The game was scoreless through nearly all of the first period until Jankus gave the Black Bears a 1-0 lead at 19:28, from Mike Hamilton and Dustin Penner. Penner intercepted a BC pass in the neutral zone and passed left to Hamilton, who shuffled the puck up to Jankus breaking in on the left wing.<\/p>\n
Jankus fired from the top of the right circle and hit BC goaltender Matti Kaltiainen’s leg pads. The puck bounced through, five-hole, and Maine led 1-0 after one. <\/p>\n
Shannon tied it at 2:35 with a smart, patient move on an innocent-looking play. Howard came out to play the puck left of the net on a rebound of Dave Spina’s initial shot, and Shannon skated out left and around Howard, extending his stick to get the puck behind the Maine goalie at 2:35.<\/p>\n
Howard was outstanding through two, making key saves on Ben Eaves, Spina, Ryan Murphy, and Stephen Gionta in the first, then standing tall on an extended BC five-on-three man advantage 12 minutes into the stanza. <\/p>\n
In the final minute of the period, Howard’s stop of Tony Voce on another Boston College power play resulted in a shorthanded break in the opposite direction, with Kaltiainen forced to make a save on Cameron Lyall at 19:15.<\/p>\n
The Eagles outshot the Black Bears 33-15 through the first 40 minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
