UPDATED: P-O-W Hutson; Poll Story; Perisie Highlight Video; 3rd Generation Terrier; SNL

Last season's Hockey East Rookie of the Year, First-Team All-Star and Tournament MVP getting an early start on conference honors.

Macklin Celebrini (1st career goal), Case McCarthy (1st goal of the season) and Matthieu Caron (BU's player of the game) were named to Hockey East's list of top performer for the week.

Terriers retained their #1 spot in the USCHO Weekly Poll earning 26 first-place votes. They're followed by Minnesota (18 first-place votes), Denver (4), BC (2), Quinnipiac and Michigan. Six Hockey East schools in the top 20.

In the USA Hockey/The Rink Live College Hockey Poll, BU is second to the Gophers by the slimmest of margins: one point and 17 first-place votes to 16.

Both John Buccigross' ranking and the Everything College Hockey ranking also had BU at #1, followed by Minnesota. 

If you didn't get to the season-opener Saturday night and didn't watch the live-stream, Bernie Persie's video magic will make you think you were there.

A great read from BHB's Belle Fraser introducing the first third-generation Terrier hockey player.

 SNL (Saturday Night Leftovers)

More from Coach Jay Pandolfo on the Bentley game:

"It’s the first game. It’s a bit of a learning experience for us, too. We’ve got to expect everyone’s best every night so we’ve got to be at our best. And tonight we had their best and not ours. That’s what it’s going to be for us. We’re going to get every team’s best and we have to respond to it and give our best."

From BU HockeyStats:  "Case McCarthy’s goal was his first since last January 28 vs. BC. He’s also the first captain since Dante Fabbro in 2018-19 to score BU's first goal of the season."

Legendary Terrier Head Coach Jack Parker was on hand to watch the NCAA debut of his grandson, Shane Lachance, who did not disappoint.

Videos from Saturday night: Sequence that led to a 5-minute major penalty (use settings to view slo-mo); different views of Macklin Celebrini's goal and Lane Hutson's game-winner.


►The Hockey News' Ryan Kennedy's annual list of the top 100 college players he is "excited to see" features six Terriers: #1 Macklin Celebrini, #8 Lane Hutson [Really, Ryan, 8?], #12 Tom Willander, #48 Ryan Greene, #87 Shane Lachance and #93 Jack Hughes. 

Kennedy acknowledges that his list "tends to favor freshmen and sophomores because they are the newest shiny things."


 

Looking ahead

2025 recruit Jack Murtagh’s steal and score was the overtime game-winner for the NTDP U17s who defeated the Elite League All-Stars, 4-3. 2025 recruit Conrad Fondrk scored the game’s first goal, assisted by 2025 recruit Charlie Trethewey. Fondrk and Trethewey are tied for the team lead with five points apiece. Murtagh’s goal was his first and he also has one assist.

Looking back

 

AJ Greer had been waived by the Bruins over the weekend. He had a 5-7-12 scoring line in 61 games primarily on the Bs' fourth line. 

The Devils have signed Max Willman to a one-year, two-way contract and assigned him to their AHL affiliate in Utica. He attended New Jersey's training camp on a PTO after spending last season in the Flyers organization. Jersey also waived Shane Bowers--acquired from Boston--with the intent to assign him to Utica.
