Looking ahead
On New Year’s Eve, 2015 recruits Jakob Forsbacka-Karlsson of Omaha and Robert Carpenter of Sioux City each scored once in regulation and then were successful in the shootout; but JFK’s Lancers came out on top, 4-3.  For Forsbacka-Karlsson, it was his 10th goal of the season and his ninth in 12 games, as well as his second shootout goal in three games. Carpenter’s goal was his 12th of the season. The two future Terriers, who are tied for 8th in USHL scoring with 27 points, were selected to participate in the USHL/NHL Top Prospects game on January 13.

2016 recruit Kieffer Bellows’ goal in Sioux Falls’ 3-1 win over Tri-City was his 11th of the season as well as his fifth in his past five games. He leads the Stampede in goal scoring.

Looking back
Former BU captain Wade Megan assisted on a pair of goals for AHL San Antonio as the Rampage doubled up Utica, 8-4.
