Game Day: BU vs Vermont--UPDATED

As the Hockey East regular season winds down, Terriers are on the road for a pair of games against Vermont in Burlington. Tonight’s game will be broadcast nationally on NBC Sports Network with puck drop at 7:30 p.m. ET

BU is currently in third place in Hockey East, but remains in the hunt for the top spot in the conference as they trail BC by just two points.

Task force/Nicastro update
BU has convened a special task force to examine the program's culture in the wake of the Nicastro arrest and suspension. University President Robert Brown says that the task force will make recommendations to ensure that the conduct of the team conforms to the “very high standards to which we hold all our students, especially those who represent the University in a prominent way.”
