TERRIER TIDBITS

Not counting last weekend's exhibition contest against the U.S. Under-18 Team, BU enters the weekend having won two straight games, including a 5-2 victory over No. 19 Notre Dame on Wednesday at Agganis.
Freshman Lane Hutson, the reigning Hockey East Player of the Week, scored two goals while seniors Matt Brown, Domenick Fensore and Sam Stevens all lit the lamp.
Brown assisted on both of Hutson's markers to complete a three-point night.
Seniors Jamie Armstrong, Case McCarthy, Jay O'Brien and Wilmer Skoog each recorded an assist, as did junior Luke Tuch and freshman Jeremy Wilmer.
Junior Drew Commesso made 26 saves to improve to 6-2-0 on the season.
This weekend's series against UNH will be the Terriers' first two games against an unranked opponent since their season-opening victory over Bentley on Oct. 1.
Seven of the Terriers' eight wins this season have been against ranked foes.
The Terriers outshot Notre Dame, 43-28, marking the fourth time in the last five games that they have generated over 40 shots on goal.
BU is averaging 41.2 shots on goal in those five contests en route to a 4-1-0 record.
Overall, the Terriers average 36.3 shots on goal per game, which ranks second in the country and first in Hockey East.
During it's 4-1-0 run in November, BU allowed just 2.0 goals per game.
Hutson has tallied three game-winning goals this season, including each of the last two.
Both Hutson (3g, 1a) and Brown (2g, 2a) have tallied four points over the last two games.
Brown leads BU in goals (7), assists (10) and points (17), matching his goal, assist and point totals from last season.
Fensore has found the back of the net in two straight tilts while Wilmer has secured an assist in two consecutive contests.
Commesso owns a .949 save percentage at home this season.
BU is 12-4-2 in its last 18 games at Agganis Arena, with three of the four losses coming in overtime.

SCOUTING THE WILDCATS

New Hampshire began the season 2-0-0 and was 3-2-0 through its first five games, but the Wildcats have lost eight straight games and are winless in their last 10 contests.
Three of the Wildcats' last five losses have only been by one goal, including a 3-2 overtime defeat at Holy Cross on Nov. 26.
UNH is 1-4-1 at Whittemore Center this season.
