The BU Terriers used their exhibition match against St. Thomas (N.B.) to find the scoring touch that was lacking for much of last season. Ahti Oksanen scored four goals, freshman sensation Jack Eichel assisted on all of them plus a goal by John MacLeod, and in all the freshmen contributed 4 goals and 14 assists as the Terriers dominated the Tommies throughout the game. Freshmen defensemen Brandon Hickey and Brandon Fortunato each tallied three assists on the night.
Danny O'Regan, Doyle Somerby, and Matt Lane were all scratches, presumably to allow the coaching staff to get a good look at the freshmen and the other players that will be battling for spots. Matt O'Connor started in net and was replaced halfway through the second period by Anthony Moccia. Freshman Connor Lacouvee played in net for the third period.
Mike Moran had to leave the game in the third period after being on the receiving end of a hard hit that appeared to catch him in the head.
