#2
Terriers head down the Turnpike to Troy, N.Y., to meet another ECAC opponent,
Rensselaer, in a 7 p.m. contest at Houston Field House. The RPI TV Webcast is free of charge.
The
series, which began during the 1953 NCAA tournament, stands at 34-30-2 with BU
holding the edge. Rensselaer won last year’s matchup, 3-1; the previous season,
BU came out on top, 3-2, on Cason Hohmann’s overtime goal.
The
Engineers' top scorers are sophomore Riley Bourbonnais (9 points) and freshman
Drew Melanson (8), although the latter is questionable due to an injury. Junior
Jason Kasdorf has been in goal for all six Rensselaer wins, but he is suffering
from an undisclosed injury.
BU
enters the game with a 10-3-2 record, including a 5-1-1 mark on the road. With
a win tonight, this year’s edition of the Terriers would be only the sixth in
program history to win at least 11 games during the first semester. Four previous teams—
2008-09, 2001-02, 1999-2000 and 1997-98— each had 11 wins. The 1995-96 squad
recorded 13 first-semester wins.

Looking
ahead
2015
recruit Jordan Greenway returned to action after missing six games and assisted on two goals in the
NTDP U18s’ 4-1 win at Wisconsin. Fellow 2015 recruit Charlie McAvoy had the primary
assist on the power-play game-winner.
2015 recruit Maxim Letunov scored his 12th goal of the season and added an assist in Youngstown’s 5-3 loss to Tri-City. With 28 points in 23 games, Letunov leads the Phantoms in scoring.
2015 recruit Robert Carpenter (photo) assisted on two Sioux City goals in the Musketeers’ 4-1 win at Waterloo. Carpenter has 31 points (14G, 17A) in 31 career USHL games.
2016 recruit Kieffer Bellows scored his sixth goal in Sioux Falls’ 5-2 loss to Muskegon.
Looking
back
Add
“mad
rap skills” (so says ESPN) to the list of talents that former Terrier Matt
Nieto brings to the table. Nieto and his San Jose Shark teammates get festive with
their “Holiday
Sweater” rap. That’s Matt with the block of cheese early in the video.
Kevin
Shattenkirk assisted on a pair of goals in St. Louis’s 6-3 win
against the Islanders. The former Terrier All-American and captain now has 21
assists, sixth best
in the NHL.
Former BU MVP Alex Chiasson has six goals thus far in his first season with Ottawa, but former UMass star Jonathan Quick stoned him on this attempt for #7.
