TERRIER TIDBITS

The Terriers most recently played Northeastern to a 2-2 tie on Monday night in the opening round of the 73rd Dunkin' Men's Beanpot, but the Terriers won the shootout, 2-1, to advance to the title game.
Freshman Jonathan Morello and sophomore Nick Roukounakis scored in regulation for BU.
Junior Jack Harvey opened the shootout with a goal.
Sophomore Mikhail Yegorov, who made 24 saves across regulation and overtime, stopped two of the Huskies' three shootout attempts.
That set the stage for sophomore Cole Hutson, who converted his attempt to send BU to the championship game.
Hutson also assisted on Roukounakis' game-tying goal, with freshman Charlie Trethewey and sophomore Sascha Boumedienne providing the helpers on Morello's marker.
Hutson and his brother Lane are the only two NCAA defensemen since 2005-06 to notch 20+ goals and 50+ assists in their first 65 games.
After going 5-for-5 on the PK against Boston College on Jan. 30 and 1-for-2 against Northeastern on Monday, the Terriers enter this weekend ranked 12th in the nation and second in Hockey East on the penalty kill at 84.4%.

HISTORY WITH MAINE

BU is 76-59-14 (.557) against the Black Bears, with the 149-matchup series dating back to 1924.
The Terriers dropped two games at Alfond Arena earlier this season, falling 5-4 in overtime on Oct. 31 before suffering an 8-5 setback on Nov. 1.
BU had a six-game win streak over Maine prior to last season but has since gone 0-3-1 against the Black Bears over the last four meetings.
All four of those games took place at Alfond Arena - BU has won the last four meetings at Agganis Arena and the last seven in Boston.
BU is 19-6-3 against Maine at Agganis.
The Terriers' longest winning streak in the series was 13 games (Jan. 16, 1982 - Feb. 15, 1986) while the Black Bears' longest streak was 11 games (Oct. 31, 1986 - Nov. 10, 1989) and came just after the BU win streak.

SCOUTING THE BLACK BEARS

Maine lost in overtime to Providence, 3-2, on Saturday after sweeping a two-game series at UMass Lowell the previous weekend.
In fact, the Black Bears' only three losses in January were to Providence.
Freshman Justin Poirier leads Maine in points with 29 thanks to a team-best 18 goals.
Senior defenseman Brandon Holt paces the Black Bears with 17 assists and is second on the squad with 22 points.
Junior netminder Albin Boija is 10-6-2 in 18 appearances, posting a 2.56 goals-against average and a .900 save percentage.
