  • SNHU closed to 3-1 at 6:02 of the third period when Muthersbaugh ripped a slap shot for the goal off a cross ice pass from Flynn.
  • With momentum, and on a power-play, SNHU converted a fast break opportunity with Flynn working right to Lynch, who returned to Usalis to cut the Ram lead to 3-2.

  • Usalis, a defenseman, scored the third goal of his career, but first since 2/4/20 vs. Post.
  • Monreal handed out assists in each of the first two games for the Penmen, and was the only player to record a point in both.

  • SNHU has dropped the first two games of the season for the first time since losing a pair of games at Arizona State to open the 2015-16 season.
WHAT'S NEXT
