#4 Terriers will look to rebound when it opens its Hockey East schedule with a home-and-home series against #11 Connecticut. Tonight’s game at Agganis Arena is scheduled for 7:00 PM and will be streamed live on ESPN+. Saturday’s game at the Toscano Family Ice Forum has puck drop at 5 p.m.
Last season, BU had a 1-1-1 record against the Huskies, won an early season title, tied it in February and then lost 5-2 in the Hockey East semifinals.
Cole Eiserman leads the 2-2-1 Terriers in goals and scoring with a 5-2-7 line, followed by Cole Hutson And Ryder Ritchie with six points each.
Five games into the season, BU’s faceoff game has taken a step forward after a practice visit from ex-Bruin Patrice Bergeron, who Jay Parolfo coached as a Bruins assistant. Brandon Svoboda has won 57.4% of the draws, Kamil Bednarik 54.7%, Owen McLaughlin 50.7%, Jonathan Morello 47.1% and Sacha Boisvert
42.1%. Overall, the BU is 51.8%, fourth best in Hockey East E.
According to the Boston Hockey Blog, the defense combinations were changed during Thursday’s practice: Hutson-Aiden Celebrini, Sascha Boumedienne–Gavin McCarthy; Painted vase–Charlie Trethewey; And Mick Frechette–Carter friend. Boisvert, who missed last Saturday’s game against Michigan State, skated but didn’t appear to be in pads. His status for the weekend is uncertain.
UConn (2-2-0) has split series with Colorado College and Ohio State. The attack is led by experienced attackers: junior Joey Muldowneya 29-year-old goal scorer and second-team All-American last season; seniors Ryan Tattle And Tabor Heaslip; and junior Jake Richard.
GOAL Callum Tung has moved on, but senior Tyler Muszelik2.02/.939 a year ago, returns. The Huskies lead D1 in hits per game with an incredible 34.5.

Looking ahead
2026 recruits Egor Shilov And Rian Chudzinski were standouts in Tuesday’s QMJHL Top Prospects game. Shilov had a power play assist and a shootout tally to help Team Lafleur one 6-5 victory. He was a play driver the entire game. Chudzinski scored a goal and assisted on another in Team Crosby’s three-goal rally in the third period that sent the game to overtime.
► Video highlights: Shilov at 3:45, 5:41; Chudzinski at 4:29
Chris Peters from FloHockey posted about the top players of the game., including both Chudzinski and Shilov.
Rian Chudzinski, RW, Moncton Wildcats
Chudzinski is an energetic player who has solid puck skills and can make some plays. His engine is constantly running and he is always looking for ways to drive the net forward. He finished the Prospects Game with a goal and an assist and gave the scouts some food for thought. He doesn’t impress you in any way, but as he has done many times this season, he finds the scoresheet and makes solid offensive plays.
Egor Shilov, C, Victoriaville Tigres (Lafleur)
Shilov was given an A rating by NHL Central Scouting this week, which wasn’t terribly surprising considering his position and how he has performed this year. Shilov had good flashes and showed his high-end playmaking skills, vision and anticipation. But the knock on him is one that came up a little bit in the game. He needs to be harder to play against and more involved in the defensive zone. His offensive ability is remarkable and there is little doubt that he is one of the QMJHL’s most talented players in this draft class. If he can show that level of competition and some fight, he will easily be a first-round pick.
►2026 5-⭐️recruit Tynan Lawrence will make its season debut tonight when Muskegon takes on Waterloo. The Lumberjack captain and MVP of last season’s Clark Cup playoffs missed 10 games due to a training camp injury. Multiple draft projections for 2026 have Lawrence ranked between 5th and 10th overall. Prior to his training camp injury. Lawrence was a standout player for Canada in the Hlinka-Gretzky Cup, where he earned a silver medal. He joins a fellow recruit Victor Norringer on the ice, as well as the free Lars Hutson.
