BU Hockey Writer Scott Weighart took a deep dive into Saturday’s 4-3 win over Cornell, a back-and-forth contest not decided until the final four seconds. He spoke with Head Coach Jay Pandolfo, senior Sam Stevens, who scored BU’s first goal, and junior Luke Tuch.

"I think as a unit, our consistency that game was about as good as it's been all year," Stevens said. "That all starts with how hard we play. If we play hard one through 12 and one through six, we're a really deep team. If we just get the puck down low and work hard to get it back, we're a pretty hard team to guard."

#1 on Hockey East’s Plays of the Week? You guessed it!

 

Going into this weekend’s games, five teams are separated by just four points at the top of the Hockey East Standings while two others behind them have five and four games in hand. BU is currently tied for fourth place with Providence, but has two games in hand vs. the Friars, whom the Terriers will meet in the final week of the regular season. BU trails first place Merrimack by four points, Northeastern by two and UConn by one.


Wilmer Skoog and Devin Kaplan were named to Hockey East’s Weekly Top Performers list.  Kaplan had a career-best three points (2G,1A) in the win against UMass. Skoog had a goal and two assists in that game.

 

► The Athletic’s Cory Pronman updated his list of the Top154 NHL or drafted players under 23. Ryan Greene is #127. Trevor Zegras is #7 and Joel Farabee is #56.


Looking ahead

At the 2023 BioSteel All-American game, 2024 recruit Kai Janviriya assisted on the game’s opening goal.  Craig Button called out Jack Harvey as one of the five best USHL players in the game, noting that he’s a “pure shooter.” Michael Chambre played the third period for Team Blue, allowing two goals but making several standout saves.

Looking back

Terriers all over the scoresheet in Boston’s 4-1 win against the Islanders. An All-BU goal—Charlie McAvoy’s third from Matt Grzelcyk and Charlie Coyle—tied the game at 1-1. Later McAvoy would pick up his 24th assist and Coyle would add his 15th helper.  McAvoy’s tally marked the third consecutive game in which a Terrier defenseman scored a goal for the Bruins. Grzelcyk scored the game-winner last Saturday against Toronto and again in the shutout of the Flyers.

 

Brady Tkachuk’s goal 25 seconds into overtime sent Ottawa to a 5-4 win against the Penguins. Along with his 16th goal, Tkachuk assisted on three goals and now has a 16-30-46 scoring line for the Senators. His six career overtime goals is 2nd best for the Ottawa franchise.

 

Nick Bonino scored his seventh goal and added an assist as San Jose rallied from a 3-0 deficit to beat Dallas and Jake Oettinger, 5-3.
