Greenway makes NHL debut tonight; Rookie honors for Tkachuk


Two days after the final game of his three-year BU career, Jordan Greenway is poised to take the ice tonight for the Minnesota Wild and become the 82nd Terrier to reach the NHL.
Greenway, who signed a 3-year entry level contract with the Wild on Monday, is in Nashville for Minnesota’s game against the Western Conference-leading Predators.

He is expected to be at left wing on a line with 41-year old center Matt Cullen and former Terrier Charlie Coyle.
