The induction ceremony will air on NHL Network beginning at 7:00 p.m. ET.
From his HHOF bio:
Keith Tkachuk is considered one of the best U.S.-born players in NHL history. He finished his career playing 1,201 regular season games, scoring 538 goals and 527 assists for 1,065 points and added 2,219 minutes in penalties. At the time of his retirement, his goal total was the fifth best by a player born in the United States and his point total was the fifth-best by an American-born player. He was the 5th American-born player to reach the 500-goal plateau, and the 9th American-born player to surpass 1,000 career points.
The St. Louis Blues, for whom he played from 2001 to 2010, will honor Tkachuk during their Nov. 14 home game against Florida, where his sons Brady Tkachuk and Matthew Tkachuk play.

Poll story
BU's road split with Michigan State left the Terriers at the same #13 slot as last week in the USCHO Division 1 Men's Poll. The Spartans slipped from #3 to #4. Two schools remain undeated: #9 Augustana (7-0-3) and #11 Dartmouth (4-0-0).
ESPN's John Buccigross's ranking maintains the Terriers at #14. Everything College Hockey's ranking keeps BU at #13.
Only in the USA Hockey Division 1 Poll did BU gain ground, moving up one spot to #12.
Friday’s win boosted BU from #15 up to #7 in the NPI rating (which replaced PairWise). Saturday’s loss dropped the Terriers back to #8.
CHN’s Power Rankings, based on KRACH and strength of schedule, has the Terriers at #11.
SNL
Since Saturday's leftovers weren't particularly tasty, most of these are from Friday.
BHB reported "Following the [Friday] game, the Terriers awarded Amico the Letterman jacket, while Yegorov received the team’s dog-themed awards, symbols of their standout players and performances."

Staying with the D-corps, please check out Marco D'Amico's revealing and insightful feature story on freshman defenseman Xavier Villeneuve, who has nine points in 10 games, second on the Terriers in scoring and tied for first among Hockey East blueliners.
“I’m Xavier. I want to be myself,” Villeneuve said. “I’m convinced that when Cole Hutson came here, he didn’t just want to say, ‘I’m Lane’s brother.’ The way they play, even if they’re dynamic, they’re totally different. It’s the same for me.
“I want to be my own person. One day, I’m going to play against those guys, I’m going to want to be even better than those guys and I’m going to want to beat those guys,” Villeneuve said.
On his roommate Caleb Malhotra:
“He produces chances out of nothing. Sometimes he’s going to have three guys on him, but he’s going to see a guy in the corner of his eye and send him a tape-to-tape, behind-the-back pass,” Villeneuve said. “Not many people are able to do that. He’s a complete player with a really big brain.”
