#18
Terriers take on #14/15 BC in the first game of the Hockey East tournament
semifinals tonight with the loser likely facing the end of its season. Puck
drop at TD Garden is set for 5 p.m. for the contest that will air on NESN-Plus
and will be live streamed on ESPN3.
Northeastern and Providence meet in the other semifinal.
The
game will be the 22nd post-season meeting between the Terriers and
Eagles, with BU holding a 14-7 edge, and it comes just a month after the 100th
anniversary of the first ever game between the Commonwealth Avenue rivals in
1918. Overall, BU leads the series
134-124-18 and has won nine of 13 Hockey East playoff games between the teams.
The
teams split their two regular-season games: a 7-4 BU win, followed by a 4-1 BC
victory. A year ago, BC defeated BU in the Hockey East semifinals, 3-2.
Four
forwards, freshman Logan Hutsko (12 G, 19A) sophomores Julius Mattila (12G, 14A), Graham McPhee (12G, 10A)
and David Cotton (9G,18A) pace the BC offense, while Michael Kim and Casey
Fitzgerald are the top defenders. Goalie Joe Woll has a 2.45 GAA and a .915 save
percentage.
For
the Terriers, the top scorers are Bobo Carpenter (19G, 12A), Shane Bowers (16G,
14A), Jordan Greenway (12G, 18A), Dante Fabbro (9G, 20A) and Brady Tkachuk (8G,
20A). Following a strong second half, Jake Oettinger has fashioned a 2.49 GAA
and a .914 save percentage.

This week’s episode of Inside
BU Hockey features Bernie Corbett’s interviews with Coach David Quinn,
senior captain Brandon Hickey and BC radio color analyst Andy Powers. Hickey,
whose NHL draft rights were traded by Calgary to Arizona, has been a mainstay
of the Terrier defense for four seasons and recently was an honorable mention to
the Hockey East all-star teams. The 6’2” native of Leduc, Alberta has 13
points this season and a career total of 53.
Powers spent four seasons on the Eagles’ blueline (1995-99) and went on
to play in the minors for six years.
Looking ahead
2018 recruit Joel Farabee had a four-point night to lead the NTDP U18s' 10-3 rout of the Madison Capitols. He scored a shorthanded goal in the first period and added an even strength goal in the second,
along with two assists. Fellow recruit Jake Wise assisted on a pair of Team USA
goals and Tyler Weiss tallied a third-period goal. 2019 recruit Alex Vlassic
was called up from the U17s to skate on the U18 blueline. Farabee is second on the U18s in scoring with
58 points (25G, 33A) in 50 games.
