Getting your player ready...
Troy Terry made sure the defending NCAA hockey champion Denver Pioneers would live to play another night in their best-of-three National Collegiate Hockey Conference playoff series at Magness Arena.
Terry scored twice in the third period Saturday night to give the Pioneers a 3-2 win over Colorado College, tying the series 1-1.
Game 3 will be Sunday night at Magness Arena.
Colorado College led 1-0 after the first period on Trey Bradley’s short-handed goal at 16:41.
DU tied it at 2:06 of the second period on Henrik Borgstrom’s power-play goal, which was assisted by Ian Mitchell and Jarid Lukosevicius.
But CC answered to take a 2-1 lead entering the final period.
Kristian Blumenschei gave the Tigers that lead at 17:40 of the period with their own power-play goal.
In the third period, Terry tied the game 2-2 with his goal at 2:17.
Terry then scored what turned out to be the game-winner at 14:29, with an assist from Mitchell.
Alex Leclerc, who had 37 saves for CC in a shutout Friday night, faced 49 shots Saturday, stopping 46.
Tanner Jaillet made 25 saves on 27 shots.
