Game Day: Terriers open second half at Harvard


Following a 25-day break, the Terriers return to action with an out-of-conference game against Harvard at the Bright-Landry Hockey Center in Allston. Puck drop is at 7 p.m. tonight for the contest that will air on ESPN+ (subscription).

Harvard enters the game with a 6-6-2 record and is coming off a 3-2 overtime win against Rensselaer. The Crimson’s power play, which has a mind-boggling 36.2% success rate, is quarterbacked by standout junior defenseman Adam Fox who has 20 points. Also leading the Harvard attack are freshman Adam Dornbach, sophomore Reilly Walsh and freshman Jack Drury. Senior goalie Michael Lackey has a 2.41 GAA and a .912 save percentage.

Co-captains Dante Fabbro and Bobo Carpenter pace the Terrier attack with 13 and 12 points respectively. BU will be without freshman Jake Wise for the remainder of the season following shoulder surgery. Goalie Vinnie Purpura has been added to the roster, while defenseman Dominic Vidoli has left the program to play in the USHL.
