Freshman Jack Eichel’s two-goal, one-assist effort again the NTDP U18s earned him a spot on Hockey East’s Weekly Top Performers list.

Hockey East holds a slim 10-9 lead in the second annual Big 10-Hockey East Challenge. Terriers join the fray this weekend with home games against Michigan State (Friday) and Michigan (Saturday). Last season, BU played the same schools on the road, dropping a 2-1 decision to the Wolverines and a 3-1 decision to the Spartans.

Terriers moved up in the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine poll from #13 to #11. They also gained two spots in the USCHO poll, going from #14 to #12. The SB Nation Hockey East Power Rankings currently have BU in the top spot.

Here is a slow-motion look at Danny O'Regan's pass to Ahti Oksanen on the doorstep for the game-winner against the U18s.
