Ty Amonte buried an unassisted game-winner in overtime to lift No. 8 UConn men’s hockey past the Maine Black Bears, 3-2. The graduate forward stole the puck in the neutral zone, carried it into the zone and sent a rip past Maine goalie Victor Ostman for the sudden-death score.
With the win, the Huskies remain undefeated in 3-on-3 overtime (3-0-1) and improve to 8-1-1 on the season and 5-1-1 in Hockey East play. They claim two of the three possible points towards the Hockey East standings.
Maine struck first in the opening period but UConn responded with a pair of goals from Chase Bradley and Tabor Heaslip in the second period to take the lead.
