Northeastern visits Holy Cross on Saturday after a strong weekend against Boston College, highlighted by goalie Lawton Zacher’s record-setting save totals and a power play clicking at 30%. The Huskies aim to extend their momentum in a 7 p.m. game that will stream on FloHockey and air on NESN+.

By the Numbers
  • Zacher stopped 91 of 97 shots against Boston College, including 45 saves Friday and 46 in Saturday’s 4-3 overtime win.
  • Northeastern’s power play is converting at 30%, ranking first in Hockey East and ninth nationally.
  • The Huskies lead the all-time series with Holy Cross, 8-2-1; the Crusaders are 4-6 this season.
  • Miguel Marques has 8 points and Tyler Fukakusa has 6, with both recording points in each of Northeastern’s first 5 games.
Yes, But

Northeastern’s early-season form is promising, but the team is only five games into its schedule. Holy Cross has a 4-6 record, yet its junior forward Owen Kim leads the Crusaders with 12 points.

State of Play
  • Zacher was named Hockey East Goalie of the Week after Northeastern split its series with Boston College.
  • The Huskies have won 8 of 11 all-time meetings with Holy Cross and beat the Crusaders 6-4 last season.
  • Saturday’s game is Northeastern’s only contest before a weekend series at UConn starting Nov. 13.
What’s Next

Northeastern will look to carry its special-teams and goaltending momentum into Saturday’s road game, then visit UConn for a weekend series beginning Friday, Nov. 13.

Bottom Line

Northeastern has a clear early advantage in special teams and recent history, but a road test against a productive Holy Cross scorer will show whether the Huskies can sustain their strong start.
