TERRIER TIDBITS

BU is back home after a weekend series at then-No. 7 Maine on Nov. 15 and 16.
After a 5-2 loss on Friday night, the Terriers rallied for a 2-2 tie and a shootout win on Saturday night.
Sophomore co-captain Shane Lachance equalized with 20.6 seconds remaining in regulation to force overtime.
Senior Mathieu Caron (30 saves) held Maine scoreless in the shootout, including a blocker save in the fourth and final round that set the stage for junior co-captain Ryan Greene's heroics, as he scored on the next shot to give BU the extra point in the Hockey East standings.
For the second time this season, freshman Cole Eiserman was named Hockey East Rookie of the Week on Monday.
Eiserman recorded a point in each game this past weekend at Maine, collecting an assist on Friday before lighting the lamp in Saturday's 2-2 tie.
The reigning Hockey East Rookie of the Month, Eiserman leads all league rookies and is tied for second among all Hockey East skaters with seven goals.
Thirteen different Terriers have lit the lamp this season after sophomore Doug Grimes became the latest Terrier to score a goal last Friday at Maine.
Caron's next appearance will be the 100th of his collegiate career, with exactly half of those soon-to-be 100 appearances coming with the Terriers.
Senior Matt Copponi has recorded four points over his last three games

SCOUTING THE WARRIORS

Merrimack has not played since a 4-3 overtime loss to Stonehill on Nov. 12.
That defeat came off the heels of a weekend sweep of UConn on Nov. 8-9.
