ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan ice hockey team (4-3-1) hosts No. 4-ranked Boston University (4-2-1) over the weekend (Fri-Sat., Nov. 11-12) in a two-game series at Yost Ice Arena.
Michigan and BU meet for 27th time, as the Wolverines own a 15-12-0 mark in the all-time series against the Terriers. U-M boasts a 5-0 record against BU at Yost, with the last trip to Ann Arbor for the Terriers being Oct. 25, 2013 (2-1).
The two rich-historied programs have met eight times in the NCAA Tournament, with seven of the eight meetings taking place in the Frozen Four Semifinals. The two teams have split those meetings, 4-4, with the last NCAA Tournament matchup on March 27, 1997, when the top-ranked Wolverines were upset, 3-2 by the Terriers in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Michigan beat BU, 4-0, on March 28, 1996, in Cincinnati, Ohio, as Greg Crozier scored twice and Marty Turco made 18 saves to earn the shutout in net, helping U-M to its first ever shutout in NCAA Tournament play.
Last season, the two schools split a two-game series in Boston, with BU taking game one, 3-2, and Michigan winning the Saturday tilt, 4-2.
Freshman forward Will Lockwood tallied two goals at Arizona State and now leads the team in points (8) and goals (5). His five goals ranks him tied for third amongst all rookies in NCAA DI.
Boston University has four first-round draft picks on their roster from the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, making the Terriers only the second collegiate team ever to have four players chosen in the first round of an NHL Draft.
UP AHEAD: Next Friday (Nov. 18), U-M will host the United States National Team Development Program (U.S. NTDP) Under-18 Team in exhibition action. The Wolverines feature eight alumni of the NTDP, including freshmen Luke Martin, Griffin Luce, Will Lockwood, James Sanchez, and Nick Pastujov.
