As USCHO’s Jim Connolly points out in his recap to last night’s BC win over Northeastern, the Huskies have held first place in Hockey Eastern since conference play began, 114 days ago.
When Northeastern rallied in the final minute to tie and then beat the Eagles in OT Friday night, it looking like the Huntingdon Hounds would indeed hold off the hard-charging Terriers who had closed gap to a single point three weeks ago.
But with last night’s verdict, BU controls its chance to grab its first regular season conference title since 2006. A win against Providence in this afternoon’s 2:00 p.m. matinee contest will give BU the pennant outright. A tie would make BU and NU co-champs, with the Terriers getting the #1 seed in the conference tournament because they own the tie-breaker.
Freshman Grant Rollheiser will get the start in goal for the Terriers today.
Six seniors--Matt Gilroy, Chris Higgins, Jason Lawrence, John McCarthy, Steve Smolinsky and Brandon Yip will be honored in post-game ceremonies today. The “On Being a Sports Girl” blog has posted a series of profiles on the seniors.
