Swept!

 

 

Different arena, different script, same outcome.

#11 Providence shut out the #18 Terriers, 4-0, at Agganis Arena to complete a two-game sweep that puts in serious jeopardy any BU hopes of home ice for the Hockey East tournament or a berth in the NCAAs. 

The Friars scored on an early first-period turnover, then added three more tallies in the third period, including an empty-net goal.

Coach Jay Pandolfo's post-game comments are linked below. 

Unlike Friday's 4-3 road loss, BU had a 33-26 shot edge, but couldn't put a puck past freshman goalie Jack Parsons.

PC's first goal was a microcosm of much of the two-game series. As Sascha Boumedienne skated behind the BU goal line, he was bodied off the puck by the Friars' Julius Sumpf. John Mustard collected the puck, drove past Charlie Trethewey and beat Mikhail Yegorov in tight for what would prove to be the game-winner.  

BU overcame its initial problem with the Friars' aggressive forecheck faster than on Friday. They put 10 shots on goal with their best chances coming on a Kamil Bednarik shot from the left circle and Tynan Lawrence's attempted stuff in. In between, Yegorov made a stellar left leg save on Graham Gamache.

The first 10 minutes of the second period saw few good scoring chances for either team. Then, BU went on a power play, getting good looks from both Conrad Fondrk and Ryder Ritchie. Both were turned aside by Parsons. 

Right after that successful kill, Mustard ran into Yegorov. He drew a five-minute major for contact to the head as well as a game misconduct.  BU put four shots on Parsons, who stopped them all. 

PC's Tanner Adams would add the final two goals: an even-strength tally at 17:26, followed by an empty-net goal in the final minute.

Looking ahead

2027 recruit Carter Meyer, playing his third game for the NTDP U18s, scored twice and added an assist to power Team USA to a 7-2 win over Cedar Rapids. Fellow recruit Jamie Glance had the primary assist on both Meyer goals and later scored, assisted by Meyer. Glance, with 30 points (14G,16A) takes over the U18 scoring lead. Prior to his call-up, Meyer topped all U17 scorers with a 17-22-39 mark in 36 games.         

2026 recruit Viktor Norrringer scored his 10th goal in Muskegon's 3-1 loss to Green Bay. The 6'3" right wing from Sweden has 24 points in 28 games for the Lumberjacks.      

2026 recruit Egor Shilov scored his 22nd goal on a breakaway and added an assist in Victoriaville's 5-3 win against Rimouski. With 59 points in 42 games, he's sixth in the Q in scoring and leads all rookies in points.

Looking back

In a match-up of BU All-American defenseman, Charlie McAvoy assisted on three goals as the Bruins edged the Canadiens, 4-3. Lane Hutson notched his 44th helper for Montreal. McAvoy has a 4-29-33 line in 40 games. 

Charlie Coyle scored his 11th goal and assisted on two others in Columbus' 8-5 win against Tampa Bay 

Clayton Keller scored his 16th goal in Utah's 5-2 win against Nashville. The Mammoth's captain has 50 points in 51 games. (Video)
