Our BU-BC preview was posted yesterday prior to the postponement of Friday’s game.

Tonight’s BU-BC game at Agganis Arena begins at 6:30 p.m. with Senior Night activities preceding the game. NESN will air the contest with a live stream for those outside New England. Friday’s postponed game will be played Sunday at 4 p.m. at Conte Forum.

What has changed is the Hockey East standings with NU defeating UConn and Providence defeating Maine. BU is now in seventh place, one point behind Providence with a game in hand. Also three points behind UConn, NU and Merrimack. BU has a game in hand against Merrimack and UConn. In short, the pressure is on BU to win and keep pace in the race for a first-round bye in the playoffs.

1972: Behind three goals from Ron Anderson, BU rode a four-goal third period to a 6-4 win against Providence. Terriers, playing without injured captain and leading scorer Jake Danby, also got goals from Paul Giandomenico, Guy Burrowes and Billy Flynn. The victory brought BU's record to 21-3-1 with one regular-season game remaining.
