Saturday's 4-0 loss to UMass was the first shutout suffered by the Terriers since the Nov. 18, 2022, 2-0 loss at the hands of Northeastern and Devon Levi.  

It also ended BU's 10 game unbeaten streak (8-0-2) against UMass.

BU Hockey Stats' advanced analytics show that the Terriers had just seven scoring chances while the Minutemen had 15.

With the two game misconduct penalties on Saturday, BU has seven on the season.

Looking ahead

2025 recruit John McNelis is in Camrose, Alberta, with the U.S. Junior Select Team playing in the 2024 World Junior A Challenge. McNelis, who is in his second season with USHL Sioux Falls, had an assist in Team USA's 8-0 opening game defeat of Canada East.  He leads the Stampede in scoring with an 11-8-19 line and his 11 goals are tied for seventh in the USHL. Team USA faces Sweden on Tuesday.

2025 recruit Callum Hughes scored his second goal for the Erie Otters in a 5-4 win against Brampton. Prior to joining the Otters, Hughes had 9-5-14 in 20 games for West Kelowna.

Looking back

Lane Hutson's assist in the Canadians' 3-2 shootout win over the Ducks gave him assists in seven consecutive games. He's two behind Kevin Shattenkirk for second on the all-time list for rookie blueliners. 

Hutson's 18 points--all assists--have him second among all rookie scorers. Macklin Celebrini is fifth with an 8-7-15 line.

Women's Team 

With the 3-1 win against Maine to conclude first semester, Terriers remain at #13 in the USCHO D1 Women’s Poll. The Terriers return to action on Jan. 3 at Holy Cross.
