BU continues with its conference schedule with a home-and-home series against Lowell beginning with a road game tonight at Tsongas Arena. The River Hawks will have plenty of new names in their lineup, having lost 11 players to graduation, including both goalies.
Lowell, led by former BU associate head coach Blaise MacDonald, still has defenseman Maury Edwards and his heavy slapshot on the blueline. Tonight’s game will be the 80th meeting of the teams in conference play, with BU holding a 55-17-7 (.741) lead. Junior Andrew Glass (photo) scored a goal in BU’s 2-1 win over the Friars last Feb. 20, the Terrier’s only win against Providence last season.
BU is expected to have the same lineup as last weekend with possibly a few tweaks made the forward lines. Junior Kieran Millan (3-0-1, 2.20) is scheduled to start in goal tonight. Check back for the lineup.
