Minuteman Minute with @James__Rust @EzekielAltman and @myles_donato looking at the upcoming UMass vs UConn Hockey East matchup.

END OF GAME: BU wins 1-0 in UMass' first game of 2026 Terriers goal in the second period enough to lift them over a competitive but sloppy effort from the Minutemen. BU led in SOG 30-18, FO 27-14. UMass returns to play tomorrow, Jan. 10 at Agganis Arena in Boston.

BU still leads 1-0 with 5:26 to play. UMass continues to struggle offensively with just 16 SOG.
