16 February

2008: Boston University defeated Maine, 1-0, in overtime, at Agganis Arena in front of 5,216 fans. (Video highlights) Terrier goalie Brett Bennett stopped all 17 shots in faced, including 1 in overtime, for his first shutout win. Black Bear goalie Ben Bishop stopped the first 37 shots he faced, including 5 in overtime, before Colin Wilson beat him with 1:30 left in the overtime period when he put the puck in the net off a rebound. Combined with the Terriers 2-1 overtime win over the Black Bears the night before it was the first time that BU had won overtime games on consecutive days in over 22 years. The last time it had happened was on 17-18 January 1986 when the Terriers sweep Northern Michigan in overtime, 5-4 and 8-7, at Walter Brown Arena.
