Terriers’
junior netminder Matt O’Connor was named Hockey
East’s Defensive
Player of the Week after limiting Vermont to three goals—only one at even
strength—in BU’s sweep of the Catamounts. His save percentage for the two games
was .955. O’Connor had earned the same honor back in October following wins
against Michigan and Michigan State.
Senior
assistant captain Evan Rodrigues and freshman Jack Eichel were named to the weekly list of top
performers. Rodrigues, who scored the
game-winner and added an assist in Friday’s 4-2 win, tallied the game-tying
goal on Saturday, assisted on the game-winner and executed a textbook hip check
to stop a UVM rush. Eichel scored the final BU goal in both games: an
empty-netter Friday and the game-winner on a deflection Saturday.
Terriers
moved up to the #2 ranking in both the USCHO
weekly poll and the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine weekly poll. BU is #3 in
the SB
Nation power rankings.
► BU Hockey historian Sean Pickett tweeted that Eichel’s overtime game-winner was the 100th overtime goal scored in program history. With his third extra-session goal of the season, Eichel is tied for the career lead among active Division 1 players.

2015
recruit Robert Carpenter recorded his first USHL hat trick and added two
assists as Sioux City throttled
Green Bay, 6-2. The previous night he had a goal and an assist as the Musketeers
beat the Gamblers, 4-1. The seven-point weekend brought the former Austin Prep All-Scholastic forward to 40 points for
the season in 37 games. He’s tied with fellow 2015 recruit Maxim Letunov for third
in the USHL scoring race. Jakob Forsbacka-Karlsson, also a 2015 recruit, is
a point behind at 39.
