Charlie Russell’s shot deflected off Nolan Renwick’s shin and into the Northeastern net in second overtime to send Maine to the championship.

Down 3-2 midway through the third period, Maine tied the game on Luke Antonacci’s second goal of the season, at 12:44 of the third. Scott won a faceoff in Northeastern’s zone back to Antonacci, whose shot deflected off Whitehead and into the net to tie the game.

Northeastern had just finished killing when junior left-wing Cam Lund tied the game 2-2 on a breakaway with 49.2 seconds to play in the second. Defenseman Jackson Dorrington’s dish led Lund into the Maine zone and he beat Boija near side his 18th of the season.
