BND's Rhys Tanner stopped all 29 shots from Portside to record the shutout. He also noted his 1,000th career save.
"You got to be community," Tanner said after the game. "You got to communicate with the D. If they get the puck, I tell them one, one on one, or the two on. I just tell them back, back, back, rim out, if you got to get the puck out. It's fine; as long as they don't have possession, they can't score. That is what our philosophy is. So we just stuck to the 1-1-3. It worked really well. They couldn't get out of the zone."
United is now 6-3-2 and on the road to play New Hartford, Friday at 7 p.m.
