Terriers will be without two centers, freshman Clayton Keller and sophomore
Ryan Cloonan, when they take on Michigan for a weekend series at venerable Yost
Arena in Ann Arbor. Keller suffered a lower body injury in the third period of
Saturday’s 3-0 shutout of Northeastern.
Keller set up the game-winner that night with a deft touch pass to
freshman Patrick Harper. The previous night, in the 4-4 tie with the Huskies,
he scored a short-handed goal and a power play goal, which helped him earn
his second Hockey East Rookie of the Week Award this season. Addressing Keller’s
injury, head coach David Quinn said:
“It’s a lot better news than we anticipated. We’re not sure how long, but he will be back eventually. It all depends how he rehabs and how quickly he recovers.”
Cloonan
suffered an upper body injury and is listed as “day-to-day.” Junior assistant captain Nikolas Olsson, who
missed the Northeastern series with an injury, has been cleared to play and,
according to Quinn, should be available to play Friday.
The
injuries will necessitate some changes to BU’s second line. Quinn plans to move
Jordan Greenway to center and have Nick Roberto move up to that line’s right
wing.

►Episode 6 of Inside BU Hockey features Bernie Corbett’s interviews with Quinn, freshman
wing Kieffer Bellows
and writer Neal Boudette.
Bellows,
son of retired NHL star and Stanley Cup winner (with Montreal) Brian Bellows, scored his
third goal of the season in Saturday’s 3-0 win against Northeastern. A first-round
draft pick of the New York Islanders, the Edina, Minnesota native rang up 50 goals
last season for the USNTDP U18s, a feat exceeded only by Auston Matthews, Phil
Kessel and Patrick Kane. The previous season he scored 33 goals for Sioux
Falls (a single-season USHL record for a 16 year old), led the Stampede to the Clark
Cup title and earned Rookie of the Year honors.
Boudette (BU '84), who covers the
automotive sector for the New York Times and writes about hockey any chance he
gets, is a guest contributor The Terrier Hockey Fan Blog. His feature article on David Quinn and the Terriers appeared in the Times on Oct. 13.
►The
