Terriers return to action

Terriers begin the second semester at Agganis Arena tonight at 7 p.m. against the same opponent as in the season’s opener, the UMass Minutemen, but are hoping for a different result. Former BU standout and assistant coach Don "Toot" Cahoon is in his 10th year at the helm of the UMass program and has a record of 140-172-31 at the school.

Go Terriers.com has links to game notes, game tracker, the WWZN radio broadcast and the Webcast on BU All-Access. The Boston Hockey Blog previews the game and reports that Vinny Saponari is expected to join Nick Bonino and Chris Connolly on BU’s top line. The Terriers will be without Joe Pereira who is recovering from surgery and David Warsofsky who is playing in the World Junior Championships. The Boston Hockey Blog will be blogging live during the game.

Warsofsky and Team USA lost to Canada, 5-4, in a shootout on Thursday. Team USA plays Finland tonight a 9 p.m. ET in the quarterfinals in Saskatoon.

The U.S. Olympic roster was announced following the Winter Classic game at Fenway Park between the Bruins and Flyers, with three members of the 1980 U.S. Olympic team present: Dave Silk, Jack O’Callahan and Jim Craig. Former Terrier All-American and Hobey Baker winner Chris Drury was named to the roster. TruFan.com looked back on Craig’s heroics in 1980
