TERRIER TIDBITS

BU extended its unbeaten streak to seven games (6-0-1) with its fourth straight win, a 2-1 overtime triumph at UConn on Jan. 14.
Junior Jay O'Brien was the overtime hero, with classmate Matt Brown also lighting the lamp for the Terriers.
Junior Domenick Fensore assisted on Brown's first-period strike as part of a terrific three-zone effort that garnered him Hockey East Defender of the Week honors.
Fensore leads BU and is first among Hockey East blue liners in both points (18) and assists (15).
O'Brien pushed his point streak to four games and has scored a goal in three straight contests.
After missing the final three games of the first semester, O'Brien has notched three goals and five assists for eight points since returning to the lineup on Dec. 31.
Brown has also lit the lamp in each of the last three games, recording four total points in that span.
Sophomore Drew Commesso owns a 1.46 goals-against average and a .950 save percentage in his six starts during the Terriers' seven-game unbeaten streak.
BU has now killed 22 straight penalties after its 1-for-1 performance on Friday at UConn.
