In a preview of this year’s first round Beanpot game, Northeastern scored a goal in each period en route to a 3-0 win in a rare Wednesday night contest at Matthews Arena.

It was the second consecutive shutout for the Huskies, as their defense played well throughout and sophomore Chris Rawlings was perfect, making 34 saves.

“He was really good because a lot of pucks hit him and he didn’t know where they were,” said Huskies head coach Greg Cronin. “I’m sure he wished he had a better style in the way he was saving the puck but he was in the right spot so I think a lot of the credit for our win goes to him.”

Rawlings became the first NU goalie to record consecutive shutouts since Keni Gibson in December of 2003. He now has six shutouts in his career at Northeastern and is currently 7th in the country with a save percentage of 92.9%.

The game was scoreless late in the third period when assistant captain Steve Quailer gave the Huskies the lead, backhanding a shot off the inside of the post and into the net. It was Quailer’s third goal of the season.

In the second, it was Braden Pimm who put a rebound past Harvard goaltender Raphael Girard for his third goal this season, making it 2-0 Huskies.

The final goal of the game was scored by Mike McLaughlin halfway through the third period on an awkward play. The puck deflected off a Harvard defenseman’s stick and past Girard into the back of the net.

Cronin said he was really happy with the way his young defensive unit has been playing.

“I thought they played well,” Cronin said. “I thought Jamie (Oleksiak) was the best player on the ice. They’ve just got to keep getting better now. We may not have the offensive weapons that Maine has, so we’re going to have to be really solid defensively and be very thorough with that part of our game. If they can play the way they’ve played, then we’ll have a chance to win a lot of those games.”

Neither team was able to capitalize on any of their power play opportunities as Northeastern went 0-6 and Harvard was 0-4.

The next time these teams will face-off will be in the first round of the Beanpot on February 7th at the TD Garden at 5:00 pm.

Northeastern has off until Saturday when they welcome the #10 Maine Black Bears into Matthews. The puck drops at 7 pm and WRBB will have full coverage of the game with the pre-game show starting at 6:45.
