Sophomore center Sacha Boisvert has received a two-game supplemental suspension for his fight with Connor Eddy of Lowell in Friday night's overtime loss to the River Hawks. Both players received game disqualification penalties, which kept them out of Saturday's Terrier win.
Boisvert, who missed four games earlier this season due to injuries, is BU's third leading scorer with 14 points in 16 games. He'll miss this weekend's home-and-home series against Providence and will be eligible to return for the Jan. 30 game against BC.

Looking ahead
►The Athletic's Scott Wheeler revealed his midterm top 64 prospects for the 2026 NHL Entry Draft. It includes one current and four future Terriers: #6 Tynan Lawrence, #10 Caleb Malhotra, #27 Egor Shilov, #49 Braidy Wassilyn and #58 Luke Schairer. In addition, Rian Chudzinski was an honorable mention.
►Before 2026 recruit Haoxi Wang becomes a Terrier, he’ll be an IceDog for the rest of the OHL season. The San Jose Sharks' second round pick in 2025 was traded on January 8 from last-place Oshawa to playoff contender Niagara, who was seeking to bolster its defense corps.
The 6’5” defenseman had a 2-11-13 scoring line in 28 games for the Generals. In four starts for Niagara, he has a goal and three assists. Wang assisted on a pair of goals—including the over-time game-winner— in Sunday’s 4-3 win over second-place Brantford.
In his first game with the Ice Dogs, Wang scored his third goal and assisted on the game-winner in a 4-2 victory over Sudbury, earning the game’s third star.

● CHL.ca Generals trade Haoxi Wang to Niagara IceDogs
“Frolov has been nothing but great for us, but obviously, we have to give up a good player to get a really good player, and adding Wang to our blue line with Chromiak gives us a real good push moving forward for the playoffs,” said Niagara IceDogs General Manager Frank Evola.
►2026 recruit Egor Shilov had primary assists on both Victoriaville goals but the Tigers were edged, 3-2, by Drummondville. With 56 points (21G,35A), Shilov, who was ranked #17 among North American skaters by Central Scouting for the 2026 NHL draft, leads all QMJHL rookies in scoring.
