French spearheaded Bentley's comeback from 2-0 down Saturday at West Point as they earned a 2-2 draw. With the Falcons trailing 2-0 entering the 3rd period, he scored a power play goal at the 4:02 mark to cut the deficit to one goal. He then scored on an impressive individual effort a little over three minutes later to knot the game up.

The Falcons are back in action Wednesday night when they host Hockey East's Merrimack.
