Game Day: Terriers host Merrimack; NHL draft midterms announced-UPDATED


Terriers will look to rebound from Saturday’s last-second loss to Quinnipiac as they host Merrimack today in Martin Luther King, Jr., matinee. Puck drop at Agganis Arena is at 4 p.m. The game will be aired on NESN and TSN; viewers outside New England can watch the live stream on TerrierTV.

The Warriors, who are coming off a 5-0 loss to New Hampshire, had defeated Michigan and Connecticut earlier this month. Back in October, the Warriors blanked BU, 4-0, for its first shutout in series history as goalie Craig Pantano stopped all 34 Terrier shots.

Merrimack's offense is led by Junior Tyler Irvine with 16 points and freshman Chase Gresock with 15, including a team-high six goals. Blueliner Johnathan Kovacevic has 12 points. Pantano has split the netminding duties with Drew Vogler.

BU, 2-1-1 in its four 2019 games, has seen increased scoring from its bottom six getting goals from Ty Amonte, Patrick Curry, Jack DeBoer and Matthew Quercia in recent games. Since returning from the World Junior Championships, Shane Bowers has produced six points (3G, 3A).
