Boston University men’s hockey coach Jack Parker ran through the short list of Terriers who have not let him down in 2009-10. The role call only included senior Eric Gryba, junior Joe Pereira, sophomore Ross Gaudet and the entire freshman class.
Friday night, when BU plays host to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the Terriers will be without the services of Pereira, who is expected to be out a month after undergoing hernia surgery Wednesday, Parker said.
Pereira is aiming to return to the Terriers’ (4-8-3) lineup for their Jan. 8 matchup with Boston College at Fenway Park, Parker said.
The junior has needed the operation for some time, but chose to put off the procedure until this week in hopes that he’ll only miss two games –– Friday’s game with RPI (8-8-1) and BU’s Jan. 2 contest against the No. 15 University of Massachusetts-Amherst.
The Pereira-less Terriers will be looking to bounce back from a 4-1 defeat at the hands of their archrivals, No. 10 Boston College, last Saturday night. The Terriers led that game, 1-0, with less than five minutes left in the second period before surrendering four unanswered tallies to the Eagles.
