Following conference wins against #9 UMass and #17 Providence, BU has returned to the USCHO Weekly Poll Top 20, slotting at #19 and grabbed final spot in John Buccigross’s Top 16. Terriers have also moved up to #22 in the PairWise Rankings.
For the third time this season, junior Domenick Fensore has been named Hockey East’s Defender of the Week. Fensore, who has been nominated for the Hobey Baker Memorial Award, scored a power-play goal against UMass and finished the week +4 with six shots on goal and two blocks. With 19 points, he’s tied with Wilmer Skoog for the Terrier points lead and is tied for second among Hockey East blueliners.
Fensore previously won the award following the Jan. 14 overtime win against UConn and early in the season following the series with Sacred Heart. Classmate Case McCarthy and freshman Ty Gallagher have won top defender honors once each.
Junior Wilmer Skoog, who scored twice against Providence--including a shot off a face off (see below)--and freshman Tristan Amonte were named to the Weekly Top Performers list.

Alex Chiasson, playing in his 600th NHL game, scored his fifth goal in the Canucks'3-1 win against Chicago.
"Pretty special," Chiasson said. "I think today I had a moment just to realize a lot that I've been through. I've had a lot of people supporting me throughout the process. This isn't just about me. I'm thankful for them. This is the greatest game to play. I've had the opportunity to win (the Stanley Cup) in Washington. I think that kind of keeps you open-minded on things.
"I've had the opportunity to play with some of the best players in the game. This game has given me so much. I just feel really grateful for these opportunities and now being part of this group."

Terrier standout and Canadian Olympic hero Marie-Philip Poulin is wearing the C again for Canada. A TSN panel has rated her as the number one player in women's hockey, "separating herself from the pack with all-around excellence and the golden goal in the 2021 IIHF Women's World Championship – the first of three overtime goals vs. the U.S. since Aug. 31."
Four former Terriers, Sammy Davis, Rebecca Russo, Kaleigh Fratkinand Shannon Turner (Doyle), participated in The Premier Hockey Federation all-star showcase.
