BU will be without Head Coach Albie O’Connell, who is serving a one-game suspension for behavior following last Saturday’s UMass game. Associate Head Coach Paul Pearl will pick up the reins, aided by assistant Len Quesnelle and DHO Eddie Effinger.
The Catamounts, after being swept at home by BC, stand at 1-7-0 but have played tight one-goal games with Lowell, Maine and Clarkson. Senior goalie Stefan Lekkas has kept Vermont in games with a 2.78 GAA and .911 save percentage. Sophomore Joey Cippollone has three goals, while Christian Evers and Alex Esposito each have a pair. Defenseman Andrew Lucas has a team-high five points.
Nashville draft picks David Farrance (16 points) and Patrick Harper (15) pace the Terrier attack. Farrance leads all D1 blueliners with nine goals and in points, while Harper has dished out 11 assists. Captain Patrick Curry (8G,5A) and Trevor Zegras (4G,9A) each have 13 points. Sam Tucker, who stopped 85 shots in the UMass series has a 2.81 GAA and a .904 save percentage.
Getting healthy
The Boston Hockey Blog reports that freshman forward Sam Stevens and sophomore forward Jack DeBoer were both back on the ice practicing this week. Stevens has been out since the season-opener against Union, while DeBoer has yet to play this year due to an injury.
“We’ve got the ability to play them,” said O’Connell. “There’s going to be a couple tough decisions, which is nice to have.”

BU
has a new commitment for its 2022 recruit class. Jack Harvey, a 5’9” left-shot center
from the #2-ranked Gentry Galaxy 16Us in Minnesota. The 16-year-old has 24
goals and 16 assists in 16 games this season for the Gentry 16U squad after
putting up 37 points in 13 games last year for the 15Us.
A prolific scorer, Harvey became a hot commodity following a strong performance in the USHL Fall Classic in September. He was the 19th overall pick in the 2019 USHL Futures Draft by Chicago and is expected to skate this weekend for the Steel, who called Harvey a “high-IQ playmaker” following the draft.
Sources indicate that several Western powers, including Minnesota-Duluth were among the schools pursuing Harvey.
