BC hockey
# 10 NU hosts #5 BC at Matthews Arena Thursday night on a key Hockey East match-up. It the first game of a home-and-home.
This will be a tall task as NU will be without leading scorer Tyler Madden (possibly 4-6 weeks) and freshman defenseman Jayden Struble (out for the season.
The one thing NU has is depth, so everyone will have to step up.
I hope we can get a split in this series.
Both games will be on NESN.
Madigan on the BC series ...

RE: BC hockey
The Boston Globe says Madden will be our 2-3 weeks, which means he should be back for the Hockey East playoffs.

RE: BC hockey
That's really good news about Tyler Madden.
A split here puts us in good position for the NCAA's and Hockey East playoffs. Worse than that and it will begin to get difficult to qualify for the NCAA's and home ice in HE. Strange Thursday night game for us, hope the rivalry aspect fills up the arena.

We're 9th in the Pairwise. You need to finish in the top 16 in Pairwise to get an at-large bid to the NCAA's.
NU may drop a few notches in PW, but not a lot if we were to get swept by BC.
NU has to make the HE playoffs though.
