Poll story

With its win in the Matthews Arena finale, BU moves up to #19 in the USCHO Division 1 Poll. Terriers also are #19 in the USA Hockey Division 1 Poll. New Hampshire, which dealt Dartmouth its first loss, is #20, giving Hockey East seven teams in the top 20. UConn at #11 has the highest ranking among conference schools. 

SNL (Saturday Night Leftovers) 

►In case you missed it, defkit's Terrier Takeaway was posted in Sunday's game report. 

►With two goals, including the game-winner scored while airborne, Brandon Svoboda was named the #1 star in The Arena's final hockey game by the media. while Nick Roukounakis was the #2 star. 

       

►In the Terrier locker room, players-of-the-game honors went to Svoboda and Kamil Bednarik who scored the tying goal, his second tally in the last three games. 

►Svoboda, who was +3 for the game with four shots, also won eight of 13 faceoffs, while Bednark won 12 of 21 draws. Overall, BU was 30 of 54 at the dot.  

►Leave it to our friend @BUHockeyStats, to correct the number of BU wins at The Arena. We had reported BU’s final record as 347-177-19. He explains, "However 348 is the correct number of wins and it syncs with the match-up history if you count the number of wins in the table in the BU Game Notes."

►Also, 41 of BU’s wins against the Huskies were as the home team at Boston Arena, and now the Terriers have 42 wins vs. NU as visitors to Matthews Arena.

►For the first time since 2016-17, BU has won back-to-back games against the Huskies. Like Saturday’s victory, the November 22 win at Agganis Arena was by a 4-3 score, although a Cole Hutson overtime goal was required to secure it. BU and NU will meet at least once more this season in the Beanpot opener.

►Bednarik's tying goal was scored just as Coach Kim Brandvold drew it up. 

►Northeastern's penalty shot midway through the third period was a pivotal moment for both team. If successful, it would have restored the Huskies' two-goal lead, but Mikhail Yegorov shut down Connor's attempt. “That’s probably the turning point there,” Coach Jay Pandolfo said.


 

► BU Hockey Stats' game recap notes that the Terriers' dramatic win was the 1,700th victory in program history. The statistical analysis of the contest found that BU "dominated in many aspects, including winning OZone faceoffs 74% to 56%, and holding the edge in EV Possession 59% to 41%."

With Sascha Boumedienne and Aiden Celebrini sidelined, Coach Pandolfo leaned even more heavily on his top defensive pair of Hutson and Gavin McCarthy who, respectively, logged 29:01 and 28:58 of ice time. Charlie Trethewey (19:07) and Mick Frechette (18:52) had new career highs in ice time, as did the third tandem of Carter Amico (12:28) and Malte Vass (9:33).

During the second intermission, Bernie Corbett guided Terrier fans through the storied history of BU Hockey at its "ancestral home," Boston Arena. 

 

World Junior Championships

Three Terriers and a future one have headed to Minnesota for the U.S. Junior National Team preliminary camp. Kamil Bednarik, Cole Eiserman, Cole Hutson and 2027 recruit Brady Knowling (NTDP U18s) joined 26 other players in St. Paul before bussing to Duluth for team practices and exhibition games.  Sascha Boumedienne is rostered for Sweden who will play the U.S. in preliminary round action on December 31.

Looking back

The Athletic’s NHL future watch asks: Who’s the fastest-rising prospect in each team’s pipeline? For two teams, the answer is a Terrier.

Edmonton Oilers -- Quinn Hutson, RW

Hutson was signed by Edmonton in the spring out of Boston University. His two-way ability and speed made him an attractive signing for the Oilers, who are badly in need of plug-and-play forwards who can push for NHL opportunities. Hutson is on fire, both as a two-way winger and as a goal scorer (16 goals in 24 games). He is undrafted, 23, and on the kind of scoring run that sometimes earns an NHL recall. — Allan Mitchell

Hours after this was posted, Hutson, who scored 56 goals and generated 114 points as a Terrier, did indeed get the call.

The other fastest-rising prospect is a current Terrier.

New Jersey Devils -- Mikhail Yegorov, G

Yegorov is on this list mostly because of his performance as a freshman at Boston University. The 2024 second-rounder had a .927 save percentage that year. That’s regressed this season (.892), and the Terriers are off to a tough 8-8-1 start. New Jersey doesn’t have any other obvious picks, in part because so many of its promising young players are in the NHL. Yegorov isn’t the Devils’ top prospect, but he’s probably risen the most of any New Jersey player since he was drafted. — Peter Baugh

Trevor Zegras scored his 13th goal for Philadelphia in a 3-2 shootout loss to Carolina. With 32 points in 31 games, he is thriving as a Flyer since being traded by Anaheim. Zegras, one the NHL’s best in shootouts, had a rare miss this time.    

Former Terrier captain and NHLer Carl Corazzini hit a major milestone in his coaching career at St. Mark’s.   

A four-year Terrier, Corazzini scored 62 goals and rang up 117 points in Scarlet. He earned first-team Hockey East All-Star and Second Team All-American honors as a senior. After several AHL seasons, he joined the Bruins for 12 games in 2003-04 and, in his fourth game, scored twice against the Rangers at Madison Square Garden, the first one on a shorthanded breakaway.

He told the media, “They threw me out there and I’m looking around and I see Mark Messier, Eric Lindros, Brian Leetch and Alexi Kovalev and all I’m thinking is, ‘Don’t get scored on.’ When we scored, it was the greatest thrill of my life.”

Corazinni later skated in seven games with Chicago followed by three more AHL seasons and two in Europe. After two seasons as head coach of Weston High School, he took the reins at St. Marks in 2013.

In addition to his duties at St. Marks, Corazzini cohosts the Bruins Beat podcast with Evan Marinofsky.
