“The night before at Brown, we had a few power-play goals, and we felt pretty confident,” Killorn said. “Yale had a better penalty kill then Brown. We didn’t outwork them when we were on the power play to create second-chance opportunities.”

Northeastern marches into tonight’s game after a close 2-1 loss to Boston University last week in the first round of the Beanpot and a commanding 5-1 win over Merrimack.

Against last year’s NCAA champion Terriers, the Huskies battled back to tie the game at 1-1 halfway through the third with a one-timer from senior Kyle Kraemer before BU scored the winning goal with about five minutes left in regulation.

Northeastern then coasted to a 5-1 victory over Merrimack on Friday. The Huskies were led offensively by Kraemer and junior captain Tyler McNeely, who teamed up to provide assists on two goals in the first. McNeely also netted a goal for himself later in the game.

“We haven’t played Northeastern,” Killorn said. “We know through video and reputation that they are a pretty hardworking physical team. They are going to be coming out playing real hard.”

Limiting the Kraemer-McNeely duo and staying out of the penalty box will be the keys to a Crimson victory tonight. The puck drops at 5 p.m. at TD Garden.
