The Terriers enter the season with a #8 preseason ranking from USCHO.
Of the four 30+ point scorers from last season, Jordan Greenway and Brady Tkachuk have departed BU early in order to start their NHL careers. However, senior forward Bobo Carpenter (20-15-35) and sophomore forward Shane Bowers (17-15-32) will return to Agganis for their senior and sophomore seasons, respectively. Coming back from an illness that prematurely ended his sophomore season, junior forward Patrick Harper had been averaging better than a point per game through the first half of the 2017-2018 campaign.
On the blueline, juniors Dante Fabbro (9-20-29) and Chad Krys (7-20-27) will be returning and incoming defenseman Hugo Blixt (Vasteras, Sweden), who played last season with USHL's Tri-City Storm, is expected to play a shut-down role on the Terrier defense.
Junior netminder Jake Oettinger (2.45 GAA, .915 save percentage) will be in goal.
Here are the line combinations for this evening:
Farabee-Bowers-Harper
Willman-Carpenter-Cheremeta
Cockerill-Wise-Curry
Quercia-Cloonan-Chabot
Extra forwards: DeBoer, Witkowski
Farrance-Fabbro
Kotkansalo-Crotty
Blixt-Switzer
Oettinger
