No. 13 Northeastern opens Hockey East play this Friday night against Boston University in the first half of a home-and-home.
No. 13 Northeastern (2-2-0, 0-0-0 Hockey East) begins conference play this weekend. On Friday night, the Huskies will be on the ice at Matthews Arena taking on crosstown rival Boston University (1-2-0, 1-0-0 Hockey East) in the first game of a home-and-home weekend set. Northeastern comes into the season with high conference expectations. After reaching the conference championship game as a two-seed and losing to top-seed UConn, the Huskies were picked to finish in second place in this year’s preseason poll, and are the only team that got votes besides UConn. On the other side, BU was picked to finish sixth in the conference.

Northeastern faced ranked opponents over the first two weeks of the season. The Huskies split a weekend set against No. 12 Penn State in University Park to begin the season, then split with No. 10 Quinnipiac last weekend at home.
Boston University has already played one conference game – the Terriers began the season with a lone home game against Merrimack last Tuesday. BU won that game 7-1. Then last weekend, the Terriers were swept by No. 2 Minnesota in Minneapolis.
Last year, BU and Northeastern played each other four times – all during the regular season. The Huskies won all four of those matchups, with two of them going to overtime. That includes a meeting in the Women’s Beanpot Championship, which Northeastern took 2-1 on a goal 27 seconds into the extra session.
