"Maybe it's justice that we didn't play one of our better games, but we won a hockey game," Harvard Coach Mark Mazzoleni said. "They worked hard to maintain that work ethic and it's nice to see a reward out there, instead of a tie."
Northeastern never did regain the lead in the contest, but when Huskies' wingers Brian Cummings and Billy Newson notched two late third-period goals within 17 seconds of each other, the demeanor of the game changed.
Facing its second consecutive overtime game, Harvard was forced to employ its dominant offense for one final minute, as Macleod launched the puck past Huskies' netminder Jason Braun after only 41 seconds of extra play.
Despite trailing early, the Crimson never stopped generating offense and capitalizing on opportunities. And the first of three power play goals for Harvard was vindicating for the flailing power play unit.
But the Huskies refused to give up their one-goal lead, as Newson got the puck in front of the net and sniped it top corner over Jonas's shoulder at 6:41.
