The pair of ties against Merrimack this past weekend cost BU its spot atop the national polls, as Minnesota-Duluth inched past the now second-ranked Terriers. But with Yale's surprising loss to Air Force on Sunday, BU remained the only undefeated team in Division 1 with a 6-0-4 record.

Colby Cohen, who played three games for Colorado’s depleted defense corps, has been sent down to Lake Erie.

HockeyProspects.com, looking at some of the early-season surprises in the USHL, writes about 2011 recruit Muskegon Lumberjacks defenseman Alex Privitera :
Sure, his four goals and ten assists through twelve games are pretty impressive, but that’s just his game. What the biggest surprise with Privitera has been the quick and impressive development of his defensive game.
