Terriers return to action tonight hosting Maine at Agganis
Arena with puck drop set for 7:00 p.m. The teams split a series in Orono in
November when the Black Bears won the first game, 5-2, but were shut out the
next night by BU, 7-0.
Maine’s offense is led by Tim Doherty, Hockey East’s
Rookie of the Month for December, and sophomore Mitchell Fossier with 15 points
each. Freshman Eduards Tralmaks and sophomore Patrick Holway each have 14
points.
Four Terriers—Dante Fabbro, Patrick Harper, Brady Tkachuk
and Jake Oettinger—who played in yesterday’s medal games at the World Junior
Championship in Buffalo—will be back in Boston today. So will Maine goalie Jeremy Swayman, whose .927 save percentage is
second best in Hockey East.

first half of the season, finishing strong with a hat trick and six points in
the two-game series against Lowell.
World Junior Championships
#BUSA had the bragging rights last year, but now it's Dante's turn!— BU Men's Hockey (@TerrierHockey) January 6, 2018

Sophomore Dante Fabbro returns from the WJCs with a gold
medal as Canada defeated Sweden 3-1 in the tournament final in Buffalo. He joins
Adrian Aucoin (1993) as the only Terriers to win gold for Canada and is the
only Terrier to win both gold and silver (2017) at the WJCs.

Kieffer Bellows scored a pair of goals and added an assist
in Team USA’s 9-3 win against the Czech Republic in the bronze medal game. The
two scores gave Bellows nine for the tournament, a new record for an American
in one tournament, one more than Jeremey Roenick and two more than former
Terriers Chris Bourque and Scott Young.
Jake Oettinger made his second start of the tournament and
turned aside 28 shots in 57 minutes before being relieved by Swayman. The 6’4”
sophomore netminder kept the Czechs off the scoreboard in the first two periods
as Team USA built an insurmountable lead. Oettinger had also been in net for
the 4-3 shoot-out win over Canada in the outdoor game on Dec. 29.
Brady Tkachuk, with one assist yesterday, finished the
tournament with nine points (3G,6A), while Patrick Harper contributed a goal
and an assist, finishing with four points (2G,2A).
