GameDay Terriers vs. Huskies at Matthews

Terriers will be looking to get off the schneid and earn their first victory when they begin a home-and-home series against #13/14 Northeastern at Matthews Arena. Puck drop is 7 p.m. ET for the contest that will air live on NESN with several streaming options (see links below) as well.

For BU, which has been shut out in its past two starts, sophomore David Farrance is the points leader with four and senior co-captain Bobo Carpenter has two goals. The Terriers will be looking for more offense from junior Patrick Harper, sophomore Shane Bowers and freshman Joel Farabee, among others.

Commenting on BU’s struggles to score goals, Coach Albie O’Connell told the media, “I think our focus is just trying to get better. We just don’t have enough grit in our offensive game, and we don’t shoot the puck enough.”

Northeastern, which defeated #2/3 St. Cloud last weekend, has a 4-2-0 record. With its standout top line from last season departed, the Huskies are led on offense by junior Grand Jozefek with four goals and two assists while senior Liam Pecararo has 4 points (2G, 2A). Thirteen Huskies have scored at least one goal. On defense, NU is led by goalie Cayden Primeau (2.00GAA, .923 save %).
