Following its weekend split with Vermont, BU dropped one slot to
12th in the USCHO weekly
poll. It was just the reverse in the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine poll where the Terriers jumped up one spot to 11th.
Assistant captain Matt Lane, freshman Jordan Greenway, and sophomore Brandon
Fortunato (photo) were named to Hockey East’s Weekly Top
Performers list. Lane scored a goal in Friday’s game and had a goal and two
assists in Saturday’s win. Greenway assisted on both Lane goals and on a third
score while Fortunato had a four-point weekend (1G, 3A).
World Junior Championships
Fortunato and freshman Charlie McAvoy are the
current Terriers named to the US junior national team’s preliminary camp roster
and they’ll be joined by 2016 recruits Clayton Keller, Kieffer Bellows and Chad Krys. Team USA’s camp will be held at BU’s Walter Brown Arena from December 14-18,
before the team departs for Helsinki, Finland and the IIHF World Junior
Championships in Helsinki, Finland, beginning December 26. Former Terrier assistant coach Ben Smith will
be assisting the USA Hockey staff with player evaluations at the selection
camp.
Once again the NHL Network will broadcast all Team USA games at
the WJCs.

Looking ahead
2017 recruit Patrick Harper scored two goals and added a pair of
assists in Avon Old Farms first two games, a 5-3 win over Albany Academy and a
4-2 loss to Cushing Academy. Harper, a co-captain this season, led the Winged
Beavers in scoring in 2014-15 with a 20-27-47 line in 22 games.
2018 recruit Tyler Weiss scored a pair of goals in the Don Mills
Flyers’ 6-0
blanking of the North York Rangers. The North Carolina native has 11
goals and nine assists in 12 games.
2019 recruit Robert Mastrosimone (photo) has a team-high
35 goals, along with 33 assists, for the Shattuck St. Mary’s Bantams. The East Islip, NY native is second in
overall scoring for the undefeated Sabres, who are the top-ranked Tier 1 Bantam
team in the country.

Robert Mastrosimone, SSM - besides the obvious front three of Silianoff, Norman and Streeter, Mastrosimone was a standout for the Sabres. The recent commit to Boston University shows amazing skill with the puck and an uncanny balance with and without the puck. Listed at five foot seven and 135 pounds, Mastrosimone was rarely knocked from the puck or ever knocked down. He also delivers much harder and effective body checks than your average 135 pound player.
Looking back
Jack Eichel’s team-leading ninth goal of the season gave Buffalo
an early lead over Edmonton, but the Oilers came back to double up the Sabres,
4-2.

Women’s Team
Senior assistant captain Sarah Lefort had a hand in all four
Terriers goals in a 4-3 win against UConn on Sunday at Walter Brown Arena.
Lefort assisted on a Kayla Tutino goal and scored an unassisted shorthander to
give BU a 2-1 lead after one that was
stretched to 3-1 on Victoria Bach’s 11th goal early in the second.
The Huskies chipped away, first cutting the margin to one and then tying the
score midway through the final period, before Lefort scored the game-winner off
passes from Tutino and Bach. Goalie Erin O’Neil made 20 saves to gain her
eighth win of the season.
