No. 9\/8 Boston University Men’s Ice Hockey (17-11-1, 11-7-1 HE) is set for a home-and-home series against the Northeastern University Huskies (10-15-3, 5-10-3 HE).<\/p>\n

“I think our D zone has been much better,” Coach Jay Pandolfo said. “Overall, I like where our team defense has been in the second half.”<\/p>\n

The Terriers will host Northeastern on Friday at Agganis Arena at 7 p.m. and then travel across town to Matthews Arena on Saturday at 7 p.m.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Before Friday’s puck drop, the voice of the Terriers, Bernie Corbett, will be honored for his 40th season with the organization.\u00a0<\/p>\n

BU is coming off a split weekend series against Providence, bouncing back from a 6-3 loss to shut out the Friars 3-0 at home the next day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Freshman goaltender Mikhail Yegorov was named Hockey East Rookie of the Week after earning his first NCAA shutout, boasting a .947 save percentage in three games against top-10 teams.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sascha Boumedienne has also emerged as a key contributor to the Terriers’ strong defense, recently scoring his first career goal.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

“College is hard, no matter how old you are, especially for a defenseman, especially in this league, coming in as a 17 year old\u2026 and he’s handled it very well,” Pandolfo said regarding Boumedienne, who is the youngest player in the NCAA.\u00a0 “He continues to get better.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Boumedienne earned a two-point night, assisting on Quinn Hutson’s 50th career goal and his 100th career point. Q. Hutson leads the Terriers in goals and points this season (17 G, 36 P).\u00a0<\/p>\n

BU holds a 171-69-12 all-time record against Northeastern. This rivalry has increased in its competitiveness, with the last 10 matchups recording 4-5-1. The last four games resulted in one goal difference, with each contest finishing in a 4-3 final score.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The last time the teams faced off was on March 16, with the Terriers winning 4-2 in the Hockey East Quarterfinals.<\/p>\n

The Huskies have lost five of their last six games, with their latest win coming in a 2-0 victory last Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

BU is set to host Northeastern at home on Friday, with streaming available on ESPN+. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
