One current and three
future Terriers made their presence felt during Thursday’s All American
Prospects Game in Buffalo. Freshman Charlie McAvoy set up the game-winner for
Team Plante in the third period with a strong rush into the offensive zone and
around the net before snapping a pass onto the stick of Luke McInnis for a wrist shot past
Team Roenick’s goalie. Minutes later, Kieffer Bellows completed the scoring at
6-4 with an empty netter, flipping the puck at his own blueline over a diving
defender. Bellows had a game-high eight shots on goal, several of which were
set up by his NTDP U18 linemate Clayton Keller. First-line center Keller
clanged a shot off the post in the middle period. In that same period, a long
headman pass by Chad Krys set up a go-ahead goal for Team Roenick, making the
score 4-3. Krys displayed strong rushing and puck-handling skill throughout the
game.

Amateur Scout of TheScout.ca singled out the four Terriers as
standouts during the game.
Commenting on the
game-winner, Coach Derek Plante said:
“Great play, great play.
Luke found a soft spot there, made a great shot, and McAvoy – he’s a heck of a
player, wow! – he can skate and handle the puck, and it’s not surprising that
he found (McInnis).”
