TERRIER TIDBITS

BU enters Saturday on a four-game win streak after defeating No. 11/10 Providence, 4-2, on Thursday night.
The Terriers trailed the Friars, 2-1, entering the third period but freshman Macklin Celebrini's second goal of the night early in the frame tied the game at 2-2.
Freshman Shane Lachance then scored the game-winner with 10:34 remaining in regulation before combining with Celebrini to set up classmate Jack Harvey's insurance goal with 8:43 to play.
Lachance (1g, 2a) and Celebrini (2g, 1a) each totaled three points on Thursday, with Lachance setting career highs in both assists and points.
Junior Mathieu Caron made 24 saves, all of which came in the final two periods as the Terriers held Providence to zero shots on goal in the opening frame.
Celebrini became the first Terrier to record 50 points in a season since Jack Eichel (71 points), Evan Rodrigues (61) and Danny O'Regan (50) all achieved that feat during the 2014-15 season.
He is also just the third freshman since 2005-06 to score at least 28 goals and the 12th rookie in that time frame to record 50 points.
Sophomore Lane Hutson had two assists on Thursday to become just the fourth NCAA defensemen to record multiple 40-point seasons since 2005-06, and the only one to do it as a freshman and as a sophomore.
Graduate student Cade Webber blocked seven shots on Thursday and set a new single-season NCAA record for blocked shots in a season at 114 and counting.
