BOSTON<\/b> — The Boston University Terriers held a 4-1 lead over North Dakota through two periods of the second national semifinal Thursday at the TD Garden.<\/p>\n

After goals by Jack Eichel and Brandon Hickey in the first period, North Dakota began the second period with a power play and wasted little time getting back in that game.<\/p>\n

Luke Johnson saw an ounce of daylight above the glove of BU netminder Matt O’Connor and roofed a tight shot to pull North Dakota within a goal.<\/p>\n

A cross-checking penalty to Hickey at 6:43 gave North Dakota more momentum. But BU’s ability to kill the penalty gave the Terriers their first sniff at offense in the frame, and at 11:20 A.J. Greer cashed in.<\/p>\n

Greer one-timed a perfect cross-zone pass from Eichel past goaltender Zane McIntyre, a shot that exploded the water bottle off the net’s mesh for a 3-1 Terriers lead.<\/p>\n

Less than two minutes later, defenseman Doyle Somerby extended the lead, threading a shot through a double screen set by BU’s Ahti Oksanen and Greer.<\/p>\n

North Dakota held a 25-21 lead in shots on goal through two periods. BU, however, has converted on two of three power plays, while North Dakota is 1-for-3 on the man advantage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
