BU struck quickly in the second when Larry Davenport scored just 15 seconds into the period to give the Terriers a 2-1 lead. Steve Stirling was called holding at 8:49, but Danby scored shorthanded for his second of the game at 10:21 to give the Terriers a 3-1 led after two.

In the third the Golden Knights out worked the Terriers and Bill O’Flaherty scored as 7:31 to make it a one-goal game. Clarkson tied the game at 3-all with just 3:08 remaining when Jerry Kemp got the puck past Terrier goalie Tim Regan. In overtime Dick Toomey scored unassisted at 3:338 for the game-winner.
