From the FreeP: BU to play host to nationally ranked Rensselaer, Wisconsin

By Tim Healey/DFP Staff

And now, the true tests begin.

The No. 15 Boston University hockey team got off to a fine start last weekend, taking games from the University of Massachusetts and College of the Holy Cross, thanks in large part to solid goaltending and single tallies from six different players.

But this weekend’s slate is an animal of another sort.

The Terriers (2-0, 1-0 Hockey East) will host No. 17 Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Friday night at 7:30 p.m., then No. 2 University of Wisconsin-Madison Saturday at 7 p.m. Both contests will be at Agganis Arena

“It’s like taking a test,” said BU head coach David Quinn. “Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday — we got better every day this week. I’m anxious to see how we play Friday night.”

BU had no shortage of offense last week — it averaged one goal and 8.5 shots per period — but given that the season is still young, and the pieces to the Terrier puzzle are still coming together, Quinn is made changes offensively. The top three lines will look like this:

Tommy Kelley – Danny O’Regan – Evan Rodrigues
Matt Lane – Cason Hohmann – Robbie Baillargeon
Brendan Collier – Nick Roberto – Sam Kurker

The fourth line was still up in the air as of Thursday afternoon.
