Terriers headed West on Thursday to launch the Albie O'Connell era at BU with a two-game weekend series against Minnesota State in Mankato. Puck drop
for Friday’s contest is 8 p.m. ET. BU will be looking for some payback after
dropping a pair of games to MSU at Agganis a year ago. (scroll down for line-up)
Scott Weighart previews the 2018-19 Terrier squad that will look to leverage team speed and experience at forward, defense and goal.
●GoTerriers.com Terriers Look to Increase Pace of Play
Like the Terriers, MSU recorded a convincing exhibition
win a week ago, thumping Mount Royal, 7-3. Despite losing their two top scorers
from last season, the Mavericks have a strong offense led by juniors Marc
Michaelis (18G, 22A) and Parker Tuomie (9G, 28A). Four starting defensemen return, led by
junior Ian Scheid (26 pts), but goalie is a different story. Former Terrier
Connor LaCouvee, a standout last year as a graduate transfer, and his back-up
both are gone. Freshman Dryden McKay and graduate transfer from Northern
Michigan Mathias Israelsson (2.84 GAA in 11 games
last season) will battle for the starting job.
