ORONO (AP) – Chris Capraro scored two goals Friday as Massachusetts salvaged a 2-2 tie at No. 7 Maine.
Despite being out-shot 24-5 in the second period and 50-24 for the game, the Minutemen (13-19-2, 10-14-2 Hockey East) hung around thanks in large part to goaltender Jon Quick, who made 48 saves.
Rob Bellamy assisted on both Black Bear (23-10-2, 16-8-2 Hockey East) goals, finding Bret Tyler 12:24 into the second period and then Jon Jankus less than three minutes later. Capraro’s first goal came between Maine’s two second period goals.
With Maine on top 2-1 late in the third and less than three minutes to play in regulation, Massachusetts went on the power play.
Capraro pounced on a rebound of teammate Marvin Degon’s shot to tie the game and force overtime.
Black Bear goaltender Ben Bishop made 22 saves.
