Grumet-Morris allowed one goal in the remaining 40 minutes and finished with 14 saves.
“I really didn’t have too much work back there,” Grumet-Morris said. “The guys played very well in front of me over the course of the second and third periods. They had maybe one or two legitimate scoring opportunities.”
Mazzoleni declined to name his starting goaltender for this evening’s Beanpot consolation game against Northeastern.
