HOW IT HAPPENED

Boston University got a goal from a sophomore in each period and freshman Jake Oettinger saved all 22 shots he faced to earn his second shutout of the weekend.
Sophomore Jakob Forsbacka Karlsson had a hand in all three goals, assisting on the first two before tacking on a shorthanded empty-netter with just under a minute left in regulation.
The Terriers allowed the Bobcats to have 12 power-play opportunities, but the penalty kill was up to the task each time, extending its current streak to 22 consecutive successful kills.
For the second straight night, Jordan Greenway opened the scoring, capping a give-and-go with Forsbacka Karlsson in transition with a backhander from the slot at 6:11 of the opening period.
Bobo Carpenter extended the lead to 2-0 halfway through the second period when he converted a slick feed from freshman Patrick Harper. Forsbacka Karlsson added his second helper of the night on the play.
Junior John MacLeod and sophomore Charlie McAvoy each picked up an assist on the night.

GAME NOTES

This marked Quinnipiac's first shutout loss during the regular season in over four years (10/14/12 vs. Robert Morris).
Oettinger is the first BU netminder since Sean Maguire in March 2013 to post back-to-back shutouts.
Harper has at least one point in all five games to start his career and has a team-best eight points on two goals and six assists.
The Terriers have four shorthanded goals through five games after tallying only two all of last season.

NEXT UP

The Terriers will take a two-week break from the schedule before returning to action on Friday, Nov. 4, at Northeastern in the opener of a weekend home-and-home series.
The game, which starts at 7 p.m., will be the Terriers' Hockey East opener.
