Moore’s second goal was yet another illustration of his playmaking ability. Skating with junior Tyler Kolarik on a 2-on-1 shorthanded rush, Moore cut to his right, using Kolarik as a screen as he carried the puck across the ice. He then deked Norhteastern goaltender Mike Gilhooly before wristing the puck into the net.

The Great Daigneau

Harvard backup goaltender John Daigneau has already accomplished something starter Dov Grumet-Morris has yet to do—he has beat a Hockey East team.

While Northeastern doesn’t boast a squad as powerful as the Hockey East powers, the Huskies were the most talented team the freshman has faced in his young collegiate career.

Daigneau responded with his best-ever game statistically, allowing just one goal—an unlucky deflection off a skate—while stopping 29 shots in last night’s win.

“We have another goalie here, one that can play,” Mazzoleni said. “I was very impressed with his rebound control tonight. He had some difficult saves to make, and I thought he played really solid.”

Yesterday’s performance was a step in the right direction for Daigneau, who gave up three goals on just ten shots in his collegiate debut at Princeton. Since then, he has improved his play considerably, allowing just four scores in his next three games while posting a sky-high .952 save percentage.
