Gaffney Nets Game Winning Goal Late In The Third To Lift Crimson over Saints

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. –  Alex Gaffney netted the game-winner with time expiring in the third period to give the Crimson a regulation win and a crucial three points in the ECAC standings. Derek Mullahy was stellar between the pipes as goals from Ryan Healey and Alex Gaffney helped lift the Crimson to a win on Friday night. Harvard is back in action on Saturday against Clarkson. 
 
HOW IT HAPPENED 
The Crimson had the first power-play opportunity of the game halfway through the first period but Mullahy made a big stop on the man advantage to keep the game scoreless. After a Saint got behind the Crimson defense, Mullahy made a big toe stop to send the puck just wide. 
 
In the offensive zone, Ryan Healey had the best look for the Crimson after wiring a puck from the point that Ben Kraws found at the last second through a good screen in front. 
 
Mullahy stopped all 12 attempts from the Saints in the opening period. 
 
The Crimson started to generate some great scoring opportunities halfway through the period after both Ryan Drkuelc and Michael Callow had partial breaks. Trying to stretch across and slide it past Kraws on both looks the Crimson was unable to find the back of the net. 
 
Ryan Healey scored the game's first goal after rushing up from the d-zone and throwing a puck on net that hit a couple of bodies and got past Kraws. His first goal since January 19th, Healey netted his ninth of the season on the play. 
 
Just under a minute later the Saints converted on a rebound to tie the game at one heading into the second intermission. 
 
Ryan Healey was called for a slash to start the third period, but the Crimson was able to kill it off. Perfect in two attempts this evening, the PK unit is 12/14 dating back to January 26th. 
 
Alex Gaffney was the hero again after getting a piece of an Ian Moore shot from the point to give the Crimson the lead with under thirty seconds to go. Gaffney now has three points in the last two games after scoring a third-period goal last week against Dartmouth as well. 
 
GAME NOTES 
  • Ian Moore has points in two of his last three games – it marks the second time this season that the d-man has had two points in a three-game stretch. 
  • Derek Mullahy turned away 22 of 23 shots for his first win since November 11th against Cornell. 
  • Ryan Healey added his ninth goal of the season. With nine goals in 24 games, Healey is only 3 goals away from Riley Walsh's 12 goals in 31 games in 2018-19. Walsh's 12 goals was the best scoring season from a Crimson d-man since 2018-2019. 
  • Ryan Fine picked up a helper on the game-winning goal for his first point since January 27th.
