The third-seeded Terriers will face sixth-seeded New Hampshire in the teams first postseason meeting at a non-neutral rink since the 1986 Hockey East quarterfinals at Walter Brown Arena. BU swept its Hockey East series with the Wildcats for the first time since the season. That was also the last time that UNH was swept by any team in league play. The Terriers outscored the Wildcats, 11-2, in this year s series. BU finished tied for second in the Hockey East standings with 35 points, but lost the tiebreaker to UMass Lowell after losing two of its three games with the River Hawks. This weekend s match-up marks the ninth different quarterfinal opponent in as many years for the Terriers, as they have faced each of the league s other nine schools in the best-of-three series since The Terriers are in seven Hockey East tournament games against UNH. The teams last faced off in the 2006 semifinals - a 9-2 BU victory - and have just one previous quarterfinal meeting in 1986, when BU emerged victorious in a two-game, total-goals series. The Terriers league record of nine straight trips to the semifinals came to a halt last season after falling to Northeastern in three games during the quarterfinal round. Head coach Jack Parker has led BU to seven Hockey East tournament crowns. The Terriers last claimed the Lamoriello Trophy in SERIES HISTORY The Terriers and Wildcats have played 163 times since the season, and BU holds a decided advantage, (.662).

THREE-GAME QUARTERFINAL FORMAT The format for this weekend s quarterfinal series will be the best two-of-three games, marking the 17th straight year this format is being utilized and the 19th time in the 28-year history of the league. The previous years were 1990, 1994 and every year since Other formats have been a two-game mini-game (1985), a two-game/total-goal series (1986 and 1988), two-game/total points (1993) and single elimination (1987, 1989, 1991, 1992 and 1995).

That total ranks eighth among all active Division I players. Connolly s 86 assists are the most by a Terrier since Chris Drury put up 101 during his career from Chris Higgins (84) and Pete MacArthur (83) had the most since Drury before Connolly passed them. Connolly led all Hockey East players in assists during league play this season with 26. After assisting on the go-ahead goal in a 2-1 win at UNH on Dec. 8, Connolly became the 78th player to score 100 points at BU. His younger brother, Jack, is a senior captain at Minnesota-Duluth and is atop the active career list with 192 points (64g, 128a). D PROVIDING O Since the turn of the new year, the Terriers defensemen have combined to tally 59 points (21g, 38a) in 17 games. Sophomore Garrett Noonan ranks second nationally in goals by a defenseman with 14. That total is tied for the fourth-most in a season by a BU blueliner and is just three off the school record of 17 set by Bob Brown during the campaign. Sophomore Adam Clendening has at least one point in 12 of his last 18 games and has totaled 19 points (2g, 17a) during the stretch, including three three-assist efforts. Clendening leads all Hockey East defensemen in points with 28 (3g, 25a) and his 0.85 pointsper-game average ranks sixth nationally amongst blueliners. Freshman Alexx Privitera scored 12 points (4g, 8a) in league play to league all rookie defensemen. BACK IN THE NATIONAL PICTURE BU was back on Nov. 11, but has won 18 of its last 26 contests, 13 of its last 20 and 11 of its last 17. The run includes two five-game win streaks, which were the longest for the Terriers since they won their final seven games during their 2009 NCAA championship run. The Terriers have come from behind in eight of their last 13 wins. BU is fourth in the RPI and tied for fourth in the PairWise. GO FIGURE After going 199 periods of play between the first and second goals of his career, junior Sean Escobedo waited less than 10 minutes to score again thanks to his two-goal second period last Friday at Vermont. He scored again in the regular-season finale and now has four points (3g, 1a) in his last four games. DOWN HOME BLUES With their win over Northeastern last Friday, the Terriers avoided their first five-game home losing streak since moving to campus in BU endured just one other four-game losing streak at home in a season since moving to campus in 1971, as it lost its last four contests at Walter Brown Arena during the campaign (2/23/80-3/8/80). On two other occasions, the Terriers dropped four straight at home spanning two seasons (3/21/86-11/1/86; 3/10/87-11/17/87). ROAD WARRIORS After suffering a 7-1 loss at UMass Lowell on Nov. 5 in the team s most lopsided defeat in over 12 years, the Terriers won 10 straight games on the road in Hockey East play. BU joins Maine s national championship team as the only Hockey East squads to win 10 straight conference road games. That famed squad went 12-0 on the road in league play. The Terriers are on the road this season, but just at home. GET SHORTY Boston University is fourth in the nation in shorthanded goals with nine.

5 BU allowed its only shorthanded goal of the season against Boston College in the Beanpot title game. PAIR OF TERRIERS IN RUNNING FOR WALTER BROWN Senior forward Chris Connolly and sophomore defenseman Adam Clendening are two of 21 semifinalists for this year s Walter Brown Award. The award is given annually by the Gridiron Club of Greater Boston to the top American-born college hockey player in New England. TERRIER TIDBITS Since the turn of the new year, junior Alex Chiasson has tallied a point in 13 of 18 contests with a total of 24 points (7g, 17a) and has committed just five penalties after earning a team-high 45 penalty minutes in the 2011 portion of the season. Sophomore Garrett Noonan is tied for third in Hockey East in plus-minus at plus-18. BU leads the nation in penalty minutes per game at 19.6 The Terriers went in November after combining for just three November wins over the previous two seasons. BU has four shutouts this season - three by Kieran Millan - after totaling just two the previous two seasons combined. The Terriers are against ranked opponents this season and against unranked teams. BU now boasts four wins this season over teams ranked fourth or higher at the time it has faced them (Boston College twice, Denver, Merrimack). This was the first season that the Terriers were atop the league standings during the month of January since the campaign. The 7-1 loss to Lowell on Nov. 5 was BU s most lopsided defeat since an 8-2 contest against Providence in the first game of the 1999 Hockey East quarterfinals. CAREER YEARS Eleven of BU s returnees from last season have surpassed their career high in points so far this season and seven have set new career bests in goals.

Nobody on last year s BU team finished at a pointper-game average. Chiasson tallied a team-best 34 points (14g, 20a) in 35 games last season. COMEBACK KIDS Ten of BU s wins this season have been comeback victories, as the team is in games in which it has allowed the first goal. The Terriers recorded 11 come-from-behind victories last season after only having five in FROM THE BIZARRE FILES BU has allowed 70 goals in Hockey East play this season. Eighteen of them were the scorer s first collegiate goal.
