  • The Black Knights had different thoughts about that comeback as they tallied three unanswered goals to take a strong 6-2 lead 10:21 into the period.

  • In the third period, SHU followed with three more unanswered goals coming off the sticks of Braeden Tuck (9:16), Todd Goehring (13:12) and with six minutes left in regulation Neil Shea (13:57) to even the score up at 3-3 and sending the game into overtime.
  • After a scoreless three-on-three overtime, the game went into a shootout where Goehring scored the lone goal in the three rounds to seal the extra point.
  • This is biggest comeback the Pioneers have had since 2017 when they came back against Notre Dame when they trailed after two-periods and won 6-4.
