Looking ahead
One of our
readers sent along this link to a video of 2014 recruit
Jack Eichel which features footage from a U17 game against USHL TriCity, when
he scored the game’s first
two goals and from Team USA’s 6-5
shootout win against Ontario in the World U17 Challenge when he scored
twice and earned U.S. player of the game honors.
Eichel
returned to action for the U17s last night after missing time with an injury,
scoring an unassisted short-handed goal against Indiana in a 6-3
loss.
Looking back
Adam
Clendening and Chris Bourque
were named to play in the Jan. 28 AHL all-star
game.
Following initial
cuts at Bruins training camp, Bourque is skating on the third line and David
Warsofsky is the seventh defenseman.
Former
Terrier blueliner Brian Strait who was in the Penguins training camp has been
placed on waivers. If not claimed, he’ll return to AHL Wilkes Barre/Scranton.
Penguins Insider explores
his situation.

Women’s Team
Freshman
Sarah Lefort’s hattrick led the #5 Terriers to a 5-4 victory over Northeastern
at Walter Brown Arena last night. Lefort, recently a member of Canada’s
gold-medal winner of the Meco Cup, now has 13 goals to go with 13 assists.
Senior Isabel Menard and junior Louise Warren each scored their ninth goal of
the season for BU which took a 5-2 lead before surrendering two late Husky
goals. The win extended the Terriers’ unbeaten streak to ten and moved the team
into a first place tie in Hockey East with BC.
