1992: Boston University tied Maine, 4-4, at Orono. The Terriers had lost nine straight at Alfond Arena and Maine was 25-0-1 since a loss to Lowell on 7 December 1990. BU started Scott Cashman in net, but he was shelled for 4 goals on 15 shots in the first period and was relieved by J.P. McKersie at the start of the second. McKersie blanked the Black Bears the rest of the way, making 18 saves to earn the tie, including big ones on Scott Pellerin, who tried a shot between his legs, and Jim Montgomery.

Maine came out flying and pressured BU from the start. The Black Bears scored on the powerplay at 7:11 when Pellerin netted his 21st goal of the season. Kent Salfi then took over and scored at 11:19, with an assist to Montgomery, and again at 16:42, this time unassisted. Brian Downey scored shorthanded with 35 seconds remaining in the period to give Maine a 4-0 lead after one period.

It look like the rout was on, but the Terriers played much better in the second and at 8:44 Jon Jenkins scored BU’s first goal of the game. Then with 16 seconds left in the period Kevin O’Sullivan tucked the puck past Garth Snow to make it a two goal game. The Terriers came out flying in the third and at 2:05 Petteri Koskimaki scored his 15th of the season to close it to one. Just two minutes and twenty seconds later David Sacco tied it up, 4-4. Rich Brennan put the puck on net and Snow made the save, but Doug Friedman took the rebound and shot it off the post and as the puck slide near the line Sacco knocked it in. Both teams then settled down and neither goalie allowed he puck to get by them for the remaining 20 minutes and 35 seconds.
