Done and done. Thirty-three seconds into the third, Bernakevitch won an offensive zone draw to Ryan Lannon, who pushed it across to Peter Hafner, who sent in a wrister that Bernakevitch rebounded for his fourth postseason goal.

“Almost too easy,” mused Bernakevitch. “It was sitting there and I whacked it in.”

It was a classic goal for Bernakevitch, a power forward with a plus-13 rating who may have the best touch around the net of any Harvard player.

And oh, just in case you were hoping for more synergy after the McCulloch goal: Bernakevitch scored the game-winner from close range in the Crimson’s 5-3 semifinal win over the Big Green last year.

Friday, Dartmouth outshot Harvard 11-9 in the third, but Grumet-Morris (30 saves) stood tall for his sixth consecutive win.

He was helped by 17 blocked shots, including five during a crucial penalty kill midway through the third.

“That’s the kind of thing you need this time of year,” McCulloch said.
