TERRIER TIDBITS

The Terriers are set to open Hockey East play after being picked to finish third in by the league's head coaches.
BU defeated Brown 3-1 in an exhibition contest this past Saturday at Agganis Arena.
Sophomore Ben Merrill's goal 6:40 into the third period broke a 1-1 tie.
BU got out to a 1-0 lead thanks to senior Mick Frechette's goal, but the Bears evened the score at 15:19 of the second stanza. • Merrill's tip-in of junior Adam Barone's shot pulled BU back in front before senior captain Jack Harvey iced the game with an empty-net goal.
Junior Kamil Bednarik assisted on the Terriers' first two goals while Barone, freshman Niklas Aaram-Olsen and sophomores Ryder Ritchie and Carter Amico each had one assist.
Senior goaltender Max Lacroix was sharp all night, making 22 saves.
Junior Mikhail Yegorov started both games at Alaska and was excellent, stopping 41 of the 42 shots he faced over the weekend.
That includes a 16-save shutout on Oct. 3 in a 4-0 victory.
Yegorov owns a .976 save percentage and a 0.50 goals-against average.
Sophomore Tynan Lawrence led the Terriers with two goals and one assist for three points in Alaska, including the game-winning goal in a 2-1 season-opening victory on Oct. 2.
Going back to last season, Lawrence has recorded a point in each of his last four games and in six of his last seven appearances.

SCOUTING THE CATAMOUNTS

Vermont opened its season last weekend with a 3-0 loss at Bentley.
The Catamounts outshot Bentley, 8-0, to start the game and 30-22 for the contest, but the Falcons took a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes and never looked back.
Junior Colin Kessler is the team's returning leading scorer, having notched 10 goals and 16 assists for 26 points a season ago.
Sophomore Aiden Wright got the start at Bentley and stopped 19 of the 21 shots he faced.
Wright made 30 saves in a 3-2 win at Agganis on Dec. 6, 2025.
