Northeastern beat Merrimack, 6-1, to keep the slim hopes alive.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, after UMass lost, 4-3, Northeastern was embroiled in a scoreless tie with Merrimack and seemed headed to overtime. UMass and UMass Lowell each had 46 points; Northeastern 44. An overtime or shootout win would give the Huskies a three-way share of the regular-season title, but the third seed in the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>And then Aidan McDonough changed everything.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">AT THE DEATH.

But with multiple scenarios falling right, the Pioneers not only earned a share of the Penrose Cup with North Dakota, they earned the number one seed in the NCHC tournament.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, a late Omaha goal forced overtime, keeping North Dakota from taking all three points and the outright NCHC crown. Even with an overtime win that evening, the Fighting Hawks only guaranteed a share of the trophy.<\/p>\n<p>With a sweep of the weekend series over Colorado College and an Omaha win on Saturday, the Pioneers and Fighting Hawks each finished the season with 53 points. And despite North Dakota sweeping the head-to-head series, a quirky league rules eliminated that criteria because both games of the series were played at North Dakota.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, based on total league wins, Denver is the top seed in the NCHC quarterfinals next weekend and will host Miami. Colorado College, which fell twice this weekend to Denver, travels to Grand Forks.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday&#8217;s win was a cakewalk from the get-go with Denver scoring twice in each of the third two periods while limiting Colorado College to just seven shots total.<\/p>\n<p>While the Tigers got on the board at 1:28 of the third on Marc Pasemko&#8217;s goal, Cole Guttman scored shorthanded at 5:05 to snuff out any hope of a miracle comeback.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Folks, it doesn&#39;t get any prettier than this.
