Terriers’ home opener tonight matches
them against #6 Providence in a 7:30 p.m. start, which will feature the raising
of BU’s new Hockey East title banner prior to puck drop.
BU (0-3-0) and Providence (3-1-1) last met in the 2018 Hockey East Championship game, with the Terriers claiming the contest, 2-0, behind goals from Drew Melanson and current co-captain Bobo Carpenter and a 30-save performance by Jake Oettinger. The teams played three times in the regular season with each winning once and one tie.
The Friars offense is led by senior Scott Conway and freshman Jack Dugan with five points each, and junior defenseman Jacob Bryson with four points. Senior goalie Hayden Hawkey has a 1.51 GAA in four starts.
After being shut out by Merrimack last Saturday, BU is averaging only two goals a game against NCAA competition. Carpenter, with a pair in the series against Minnesota State, is the leading goal scorer, while sophomore David Farrance has four assists.
“Some of it’s not finishing,” said Albie O’Connell. “We have had a couple good looks and in general as long as we are getting chances and looks that’s a positive, but we have to get second chances and retrievals.”
O'Connell has indicated that junior defenseman Chad Krys "should be available" tonight after missing the previous three games with an injury.

Got his ring, got his goal. đź‘Ź #LetsGoOilers pic.twitter.com/NNuuVgB4LO— Edmonton Oilers (@EdmontonOilers) October 26, 2018
On the day Alex Chiasson received his
Stanley Cup ring (video) as a member of the 2017-18 Capitals, he scored a goal—his third
in two games—against his former team in the Oilers’ 4-1 win. A two-time winner
of BU’s Ed Carpenter Award for most points in a season, Chiasson became the
ninth Terrier to have his name on the Stanley Cup as a player or coach.
