UConn men’s hockey put together ones of its best performances of the season to earn a 6-2 victory on the road against the Merrimack Warriors. The Huskies have now won five straight Hockey East contests and improve to 15-11-0 overall and 11-6-0 in league play.
Merrimack scored first but UConn came back with two quick goals from Carter Turnbull and Jachym Kondelik to take the lead. The Warriors answered early in the second period but again, the Huskies scored quickly afterwards with a goal from Ryan Tverberg off the rush. Vladislav Firstov tallied a fourth goal late in the second and Jonny Evans added a fifth at the start of the third to put the game away while Chase Bradley added an empty-netter in the final minute for good measure.
