BU enters this weekend third in the conference standings behind both of their opponents that they will see on the weekend. UNH and BC have both been on fire as of late, although the two teams did both fall once last weekend to Dartmouth and Maine, respectively. BU, on the other hand, has been playing just ok. After getting waxed by Brown 6-1 on the first day of the month, the Terriers rebounded and went on a three game unbeaten streak before losing to Merrimack 3-2 Wednesday night.

| Chis Connolly will be a key for the Terrier to have any kind of success this weekend. He missed both games BC earlier this season due to a broken figure suffered in the first period of a 4-2 win over New Hampshire. |
