This weekend, as the No. 16 Boston University men’s hockey team takes on two Hockey East opponents at Agganis Arena, the operative word is “should.”
The team (4-4-1, 3-3-1 Hockey East) should handle the last-place University of Vermont with ease Friday night, and should turn around the very next night and beat University of New Hampshire.
The Terriers should be able to keep the Catamounts (1-5-1, 0-4-1 Hockey East) and their league-worst average of 2.14 goals per game and 4.57 goals allowed per game.
BU should be able to take advantage of the league-high 36 goals allowed by UNH (4-4-2, 3-3-1 Hockey East), a team it easily dispatched in a season-opening 5-0 win on Oct. 8.
