The Eagles haven’t lost since the goaltender’s midseason benching. Dave Hendrickson reports from the Northeast Regional.
Halfway through the Northeast Regional semifinal, Minnesota-Duluth’s reign as defending NCAA champions appeared to have ended. Maine led 2-0 and was storming the castle.

In the 14 full seasons since the coach reached 500 wins, other than the two post-national championship years when the celebratory losses to the pros were near-insurmountable, his worst season has included 24 wins. Dave Hendrickson has This Week in Hockey East.
These are the three things I think I learned this week. 1. It’s looking like a three-way race at the top.

Now those five co-favorites are down to three as Boston College, Lowell, and Boston University have put some separation … Read more

Instead, it was a flexing of muscles by the Terriers, seizing a 3-1 first period lead and never letting the margin get any closer en … Read more
