After getting blanked by Maine last weekend in their first game back of the second semester, BU will head north to Durham to face the UNH Wildcats at the Whitt Friday night.

After a torrid start to the year that saw UNH goes 6-1-1 out of the gate, the Wildcats are winless in their last five, going 0-4-1. Since losing to BU back on November 11th, UNH has just three wins in ten games and currently sit in sole position of eighth place in Hockey East with nine points.

In that November 11th meeting, BU blanked UNH 4-0 at Agganis behind a 29 save shutout from Max Prawdzik and goals by Ty Amonte, Dante Fabbro, Jordan Greenway and Bobo Carpenter.

Scouting the Wildcats
Senior Michael McNicholas leads the UNH attack with 19 points by way of five goals and 14 assists in 20 games played. Max Gildon and Liam Blackburn both have registered 15 points. Golden has paced the goal scoring race thus far with a team-high seven and has added eight assists. Blackburn, on the other hand, has six goals and nine assists.

Other players to watch include Ara Nazarian, Jason Salvaggio, and Brandon van Riemsdyk.

Between the pipes, Danny Tirone has been solid thus far, pointing a 2.62 goals against average and a .916 save percentage to go along with a 9-9-2 record.
