Through three weeks of the season, UConn men’s hockey has underperformed. The Huskies sit below .500 with a 2-3-0 record and are coming off a sweep at the hands of an Ohio State team picked to finish last in the Big Ten Conference.
If there is a saving grace to UConn’s slow start, it’s that the team has been competitive in all three of its losses.
Against BU, the Huskies led for 54 minutes before giving up two late goals en route to a 2-1 defeat. In the series at Ohio State, UConn blew a 3-0 lead over the final 30 minutes, bounced back to dominate the 3-on-3 overtime period but allowed a game-winning goal with 3.
