ASHBURNHAM, Mass. — Cushing’s first line was the difference as the Penguins defeated Brunswick, 2-1, in Saturday’s Elite 8 semifinal at Iorio Arena.
Boston College commit Landan Resendes (Marlboro, Mass.) laid a big hit and scored a goal on the game’s first shift to give the Penguins the early 1-0 lead.
He finished off a nice transitional play. Defenseman Zach Rizzo made the initial breakout to center Jack Costanzo (Gloucester, Mass.). From there, Costanzo made a great hockey play to bump an area pass off the wall to Resendes, who went in for the nifty finish.
