Terriers
begin the final weekend of the regular season with a pair of home games
against Vermont and an opportunity to clinch fourth place in Hockey East. Tonight’s contest at
Agganis Arena starts at 7:30 p.m. ET.
UConn’s
loss to UMass last night guarantees BU either fourth or fifth seed and a bye in
the first playoff round. Terriers would secure fourth place by taking three
points from the Catamounts. Any points Maine fails to get in its series with BC
would reduce that number.
Vermont
dropped a pair of games to Northeastern last weekend, but in recent weeks has
produced wins against Lowell and Providence, along with a tie against the
Friars—
all
on their home ice. The Catamount attack is led by Colton Ross with 15 goals and
21 points and Alex Esposito with 19 points. One-time BU commit Liam Coughlin
has 14 points. Sophomore goalie Stefnos Lekkas brings a 2.88 GAA and .912 save percentage to the game.
It
is expected that Jordan Greenway, who returned to Boston yesterday, will be in
the Terrier line-up. Patrick Harper, who has not played since January 6,
remains sidelined by illness.

Poulin
and Jenn Wakefield of Team Canada earned silver medals at the PyeongChang
Olympics after Team USA won the gold-medal game, 3-2, in a shootout. Poulin had
given Canada a 2-1 lead before the U.S. tied the score in the third period. In the 2010 and 2014 gold-medal games (both against Team USA), Poulin scored the game-winning goals.
