Game Day: Terriers visit Dartmouth


Terriers begin a three-game road trip with a visit to Dartmouth. Puck drop at Thompson Arena is at 8 p.m. for the contest that will be live-streamed on ESPN+.


Dartmouth brings a 7-5-3 record, which includes wins against Cornell and Connecticut. It’s top scorers are sophomore forward Drew O’Connor (17 points), junior forward Quin Foreman (13), freshman defenseman Tanner Palocsik (11) and sophomore forward Jeffrey Losurdo (10). Senior netminder Adrian Clark has a 2.86 GAA and a .907 save percentage.

Last night, Dartmouth, which boasts one of college hockey's best power plays, played ECAC rival Vermont, battling the Catamounts to a 2-2 overtime tie. The Big Green rallied from a two-goal deficit, pulling even on a late third-period power play. Dartmouth poured 48 shots on the UVM goal. 

BU's attack is led by junior defenseman David Farrance (24 points), who scored his 11th goal--tops for D1 blueliners--in the win against Brown and senior Patrick Harper (22), who was named Hockey East Player of the Month for December. Harper's assist on a Trevor Zegras goal against Brown was his 100th career point.
