Junior center Jonathan Turk’s goal with 3:55 remaining in the first overtime gave the University of Vermont a 3-2 victory over the University of Maine on Sunday night at Gutterson Fieldhouse in Burlington, Vt., sending the Catamounts to the Hockey East quarterfinals.

Seventh seed Vermont is now 20-13-4, while the 10th seeded Black Bears wound up 14-22-3.

Vermont will now face third seed Boston College in the quarterfinals.

Maine rallied from a 2-0 deficit to tie it in the third period on goals from 2013-14 All-Americans Ben Hutton and Devin Shore.

Brady Shaw’s first-period power-play goal and Kevin Irwin’s even-strength goal in the second period had staked the Catamounts to a 2-0 lead. Turk scored his seventh goal of the season and third game-winner off a feed from behind the net by Anthony Petruzzelli.

Nick Luukko wristed the puck to the net and Maine goalie Sean Romeo got his glove on it.

However, Romeo couldn’t locate the puck and it squirted behind the net.

Petruzzelli corralled it and sent a nice pass onto the stick of the onrushing Turk, who one-timed it over the glove of Romeo from between the faceoff dots.

Mike Santaguida finished with 37 saves for the Catamounts while freshman Romeo made 27 stops.

Maine went 0-18-1 in games in which it scored two goals or less this season and was 1-5-3 in overtime.

The two teams met seven times this season and Vermont won six.

The Black Bears had gone 1-15 in games in which they trailed after two periods but they outshot Vermont 11-5 over the final 20 minutes and capitalized twice to force overtime. Hutton began the comeback at the 2:05 mark of the final period.

Dan Renouf stickhandled neatly in the right faceoff circle before feeding the puck across to the wide-open Hutton, who wristed a 12-footer over the diving Santaguida.

The Black Bears pressed for the equalizer and Shore, who had gone pointless in the last five games with Vermont after scoring a goal in the first meeting on Nov. 7, knotted it up with 4:41 remaining.

Steven Swavely was engaged in a puck battle along the right-wing boards and the puck rolled into the faceoff circle.

The puck was up on edge and Shore spun around and rifled a slapshot over the glove of Santaguida and into the upper short-side corner.

The Black Bears had squandered several chances to take the lead in the first period and found themselves trailing 1-0 after one despite holding a 14-8 edge in shots on goal.

Connor Leen had a couple whacks at the puck from the doorstep off a Blaine Byron pass but Santaguida held his ground.

Santaguida held the short side to stop Will Merchant’s wrister from the faceoff circle on the power play, and Cam Brown failed to convert a pair of glittering chances shortly afterward.

Brown was set up nicely in the middle of the slot early in the period but missed the net.

Then, after a wild scramble, Leen fed him a short diagonal pass but Brown fanned on the shot while facing a half-empty net.

Shaw made them pay six seconds after Maine’s Billy Norman was assessed a holding penalty.

Alexx Privitera flipped a pass over to Mike Paliotta at the right poin,t and his low slapshot deflected in off the leg of Shaw.

Vermont had the better of the play in the second period and Irwin converted off a three-on-two.

Paliotta pushed the puck up to Colin Markison, who threaded the needle with a pass to Irwin.

Irwin skated the left wing, squared himself and snapped a wrister from the faceoff dot into the far corner past Romeo’s glove.
