HANOVER, N.H.—Three different Crimson players scored goals
and Danny Biega logged a pair of assists as the Harvard men’s
hockey team tied Dartmouth, 3-3, Friday night at Thompson
Arena.
Mike Seward scored at even strength for Harvard (3-3-2, 2-3-2 ECAC
Hockey, 0-2-1 Ivy League) in the first period, and Alex Fallstrom
and Luke Greiner added power-play tallies to erase a pair of
one-goal deficits in the second. Steve Michalek made 24 saves,
while Max Everson blocked five shots.
The Big Green (4-4-1, 3-3-1, 1-1-1) took advantage of some
fortunate bounces and 34 saves from James Mello to earn a point in
the ECAC Hockey and Ivy League standings despite Harvard’s
37-26 shots edge.
Seward’s first collegiate goal gave Harvard the lead on a
rush up the right side in the game’s seventh minute. He fired
a wrist shot past Mello after Dan Ford and Tommy O’Regan
moved the puck up the ice.
Michalek, who made a tough save on Mark Goggin just before
Seward’s goal, preserved the lead with consecutive stops on
Eric Robinson and Doug Jones. The Big Green, however, soon evened
the score when Tyler Sikura intercepted a Harvard pass at the
offensive blue line, went in alone and scored on a wrist shot of
his own. The teams went to the first intermission tied at 1-1
despite Harvard doubling up Dartmouth in shots, 12-6.
Robinson put Dartmouth on top just 36 seconds into the second
period, when his shot from the right side deflected off a stick and
into a top corner. The Big Green got the game’s first power
play 50 seconds later, but the best chance of the two minutes came
when Biega sprung Greiner for a shorthanded opportunity.
Harvard then sandwiched a pair of power-play goals around a Jones
goal for Dartmouth. Fallstrom had the first. After Alex
Killorn’s one-timer off a Biega pass was stopped, the senior
passed across to Fallstrom who buried his third goal of the
season.
Jones took advantage when a referee collided with a Harvard player,
causing a breakaway, but Greiner evened the score at 3-3. The
junior tipped home a point shot from Biega after Colin Blackwell
broke up a Dartmouth clear at the Big Green blue line. Harvard
totaled 15 second-period shots.
Neither team scored in the third period despite a series of strong
shifts from the Crimson in the Dartmouth zone in the final minutes.
Michalek’s most crucial save came on the first shift of
overtime, when he stopped a point-blank backhand shot from Jones on
the opening shift of the extra session.
