-Senior captain Matt Grzelcyk, just after his return to BU following surgery recovery, earned Hockey East Defensive Player of the Week honors, the league announced on Monday. Grzelcyk tallied three points in the team’s weekend sweep of Northeastern.
-New USCHO national rankings also came out Monday afternoon — BU stayed at No. 11, but Providence College, which BU faces this weekend, jumped up to No. 1 after starting the season 6-0-1.
-This is pretty cool: my Online Journalism professor (and Andrew’s former JO 304 prof), Nick Barber, just got a new 360-degree camera. He also happens to be a big BU hockey fan, and he recorded this video after the Terriers beat Northeastern University at Agganis Arena on Friday evening.
-A few fun facts from @BurntBoats (a great follow for BU hockey fans, if you don’t already):
Through 8 games last yr ORegan and Ahti had 19 total points on Eichel’s line. Through 8 games this yr they have 19 total points. Eichel who?
