In his 47 games with the UND hockey team, sophomore forward Jackson Blake has scored 22 goals and 52 points. On Saturday night, Blake's 22nd career goal proved to be an important, historic goal. With Blake's overtime marker, the UND hockey team broke a 33-year drought. The UND hockey team hadn't won against BU in Boston since March 16, 1990. That streak is over!
The Goal in Question
Twenty seconds into Saturday's 3-on-3 overtime, UND forward Jackson Blake moved up the right side took a feed from Owen McLaughlin entered the BU zone cut in front of the Terrier goalie Mathieu Caron, and scored an overtime winner to give UND a 5-4 win. Blake's goal helped UND salvage a series split against the highflying Boston University Terriers. That was the second career overtime goal of Blake's career. His goal was a thing of beauty, his celly was even better. Right in front of the BU bench.
That’s absolutely filthy. https://t.co/DBVHclyQu3

"To come in here and win on a Saturday night is so big for us," Blake told the Grand Forks Herald. "We have a lot of transfers and freshman, so to get their first road experience with us is huge. Getting a win on Saturday, there's nothing better."
- First, as mentioned above, the UND hockey team hadn't beaten BU in Boston in 33 years.
- UND snapped a six-game winless streak against Boston University dating back to 2012.
- With the win, UND improved to 13-12-2 all-time against Boston University and 5-8-1 in Boston.
- UND is 8-4-1 against BU in a city not named Boston.
- Finally, Blake recorded his 16th game with multiple points in his career and his fourth three-point night
