#10/11
Terriers return to Conference action tonight, hosting longtime rival Northeastern
in the first of a home-and-home series. Puck drop at Agganis Arena is at 7:30
p.m.
Coming
off its 5-4 overtime win against Denver, BU will be bolstered by the return of
captain and first-team All-American defenseman Matt Grzeylcyk, who has
recovered from off-season knee surgery.
The Charlestown native and Bruins draft
pick, who scored a career-best 38 points (10G, 28A) last season and led all Hockey East defensemen in points (20, for conference games during the regular season), will be paired with freshman Charlie McAvoy, according to the Daily Free
Press. The other blueline pairs: sophomores Brandon Hickey and Brandon
Fortunato, and junior Doyle Somerby with sophomore John MacLeod.
With
pre-season All-American Kevin Roy off to a slow start, the Huskies’ offense is
being led by junior John Stevens and his brother, sophomore Nolan Stevens, with
four and three goals respectively. Junior Zach Aston-Reese has five points.
Junior Derick Roy and freshman Ryan Ruck have split the goaltending job.

GoTerriers.com report
One NHL scout from a Western Conference team at the BU-Merrimack game on Friday texted me to say that JFK [freshman Jakob Forsbacka-Karlsson] was “the best player on the ice”, passing on that the Bruins scouts really might have outdone themselves with the picks the team got from Calgary- Zach Senyshyn, JFK and Jeremy Lauzon.
Looking
ahead
Kieffer
Bellows scored a goal and Clayton Keller earned Best Player for the US honors
as Team USA edged Sweden in the Five Nations Tournament in Monthey,
Switzerland. Bellows
has eight goals in his past seven games and 13 in 14 games overall. Keller, who
centers the team’s top line, assisted on Team USA’s first goal. Next opponent
is Finland on Saturday.
2017
recruit Hank Crone has been traded
from USHL Omaha to the Fargo Force, where he’ll be reunited with Coach Cary
Eades, who coached in him the 2014 Under 17 Five Nation’s Tournament. Crone had
scored two goals and two assists in 12 games for the Lancers.
Looking
back
Jack
Eichel used a strong offensive-zone move to rifle home his fifth goal of the
season, but it was the Sabres only goal as they fell to Tampa Bay, 4-1. Eichel
accounted for 6 of Buffalo’s 31 shots.
