The
Terriers, beginning a two-game series against Vermont in Burlington, will be
looking for critical points as they seek to gain home ice for the Hockey East
playoffs. Tonight’s
game, set for a 7 p.m. puck drop, will be live-streamed.
BU is tied for sixth place with Maine, three points behind Northeastern for the final home ice berth. It will also have to jump ahead of fifth place BC. While gaining home ice appears to be a longshot, the Terriers can clinch a playoff berth and eliminate the Catamounts with a win tonight.
Four Terriers - Shane Bowers, Bobo Carpenter, Patrick Curry and Joel Farabee - have 10 or more goals this season. Only six other teams have that many 10-goal scorers. BU’s penalty kill, successful in defending 38 of the past 39 power plays, is now 16thin the nation at 84.4 percent.
Vermont is 2-3-1 in the past six games after dropping a pair at Northeastern.The Catamount offense is led by sophomore Max Kaufman (18 points), senior and former BU recruit Liam Coughlin (17) and sophomore Alex Esposito (16). Junior Stefanos Lekkas has been in goal for all UVM games, producing a 2.28 GAA and a .930 save percentage.
