Gunnarwolfe Fontaine scored in the final minute of overtime Monday night, leading Northeastern to a 4-3 victory over Boston University in the Beanpot at TD Garden.
The Huskies have won five of the last six Beanpot Finals, the culmination of an annual college hockey tournament involving four Boston-area schools that was played over two weeks in February.
“It feels amazing,” Fontaine told NESN on the ice after the win. “When you can win with your brothers here, there's nothing like it.”
Matt DeMelis, Justin Hryckowian and Jack Williams also scored for Northeastern in the win.
“It gives us all the confidence,” Fontaine said of the title. “It's a big step towards the playoffs, it's the first trophy we could have won. And I'm glad we got it.”
The Terriers received goals from Macklin Celebrini, Devin Kaplan and Lane Hutson in the loss.
In the area, it was a tale of two goalkeepers. Boston's Mathieu Caron allowed four goals on just 13 shots, while Northeastern's Cameron Whitehead made 30 saves on his way to the title.
“That wasn't a surprise. We have all the faith in the world in him,” Fontaine said of Whitehead. “He's a stud back there. We're lucky to have him.”
Boston College blanked Harvard 5-0 in the consolation game.
