Depth Scoring Lifts UMass Hockey Over Bentley
The No. 11 Massachusetts hockey team needed every ounce of offense it could muster to defeat Bentley 5-4 on Saturday.
Aside from Václav Nestrašil’s goal in the first period, every tally for UMass (4-1, 0-1 Hockey East) came from either a bottom-six forward or a defenseman.
With ten minutes left in the game and the Minutemen trailing 4-3, Matthew Wilde and Nick VanTassel battled for the puck along the boards in the defensive zone.
The forwards nudged the puck into the neutral zone, drawing the attention of all five Falcons (0-3) and leaving Larry Keenan alone on the weak side.
After a quick pass from VanTassel, Wilde sent a cross-ice pass to Keenan. The sophomore defenseman dragged the puck between his legs to keep his momentum entering the zone.
