Greenway repeats as HE's top rookie; Keller climbs NTDP record ladder



Freshman Jordan Greenway, whose overtime goal Friday night gave the Terriers a 2-1 win over Lowell, has repeated as Hockey East Pro Ambitions Rookie of the Week. He was recognized the previous week for a pair of goals against UMass. Seniors Sean Maguire and Ahti Oksanen were named to the weekly top performers list.

Following their weekend split with the Lowell River Hawks, Terriers dropped two spots in both the USCHO and USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine weekly polls and are currently #9. BU also slipped to 10th in the PairWise Rankings.
