TERRIER TIDBITS

BU can finish either fifth or sixth in the Hockey East standings.
To finish fifth and earn a bye to the quarterfinals, the Terriers need to earn two more points than Maine; the Black Bears visit Vermont on Saturday night.
If BU finishes sixth, the Terriers will host Vermont in an opening-round game on Wednesday, March 11, at Agganis Arena.
They still have a chance to earn that desired quarterfinal bye thanks to last weekend's sweep of Boston College.
Hockey East Goaltender of the Week Mikhail Yegorov was the No. 1 star in both games, stopping 52 of the 54 shots he faced on the weekend.
Hockey East Defender of the Week Cole Hutson recorded two of his three assists on the weekend during Saturday's 5-1 win, including the primary assist on the game-winning goal.
Hutson is first among Hockey East blue liners with nine goals and 30 points in addition to being second among Hockey East defenders with 21 assists.
Sophomore Cole Eiserman and junior Jack Harvey scored a goal in both games.
One of Harvey's goals came shorthanded; he is now tied for second in the nation with three shorthanded strikes.
Eiserman leads BU with 15 goals, having lit the lamp in three straight games and five of his last six appearances.
Freshman Ben Merrill tallied two goals in Saturday's win, including a shorthanded goal.
Junior captain Gavin McCarthy assisted on Merrill's shorthanded goal and then broke a 1-1 tie with his third marker of the season.
Freshman Tynan Lawrence, sophomore Kamil Bednarik and freshman Charlie Trethewey each recorded an assist in both wins.
