Svedeback, the Bruins’ fourth-round pick in 2021, started 67 of 72 games during his freshman and sophomore seasons, going 32-24-11. He’s on track to have a much lighter load in his third year, starting four games so far, including a 23-save effort in a 6-3 home win in Friday’s opener. Borgiel was in net Saturday in Durham and posted a 43-save shutout in a 3-0 win.

The Friars seem content with a rotation in net for now.

“It’s a healthy competition right now,” coach Nate Leaman said. “They are both playing pretty well. “We haven’t had that combination in a long time.”

Freshman Will Elger has a goal in each of Providence’s last four games, trailing only Tanner Adams and his team-leading five goals.

“He has very good skills,” said Leaman, whose team rose to 11th in the latest USCHO.com survey. “Throughout training camp, he kept scoring. …It didn’t matter who we put it with. “He has a good stick and a good offensive IQ.”

Both Boston College (5-1-0) and Maine (6-0-1) swept the weekend ahead of next weekend’s showdown at Conte Forum. The No. 2 Eagles had an impressive performance on the road, traveling to Minnesota for a pair of games at St. Cloud State, which started the weekend 6-1. Jacob Fowler stopped 44 of 46 shots and BC won by scores of 4-1 and 2-1. Gabe Perreault scored a goal each night and has scored in four of BC’s last five games.

No. 5 Maine handily defeated Merrimack by scores of 5-0 and 6-0 to record consecutive shutouts for the first time since the 2010-11 season. Albin Boija recorded 30 saves in the two games to earn the wins. Freshman Patriks Berzins made his NCAA debut in the third period of the second game and stopped four shots.

Senior Harrison Scott had three goals and four assists over the weekend to extend his point streak to eight games. Maine is undefeated in its first seven games for the first time since the 2006-07 season.

Boston University had a weekend it would like to forget: it was swept at home by Michigan and fell to 4-3. The Terriers had the lead in the third period both nights. They led 1-0 in Friday’s first game and had a couple of power plays to open the third. When they failed to capitalize, Michigan rode the momentum and cruised to a 5-1 victory.

Saturday’s rematch saw a better effort from BU, which led on three separate occasions before losing, 5-4, in overtime. Jackson Hallum completed his hat trick 3:10 into the extra session to give the Wolverines the win and BU its third loss in four games.

Mansfield native Matt Copponi was one of four BU players who lit the lamp, scoring his first goal as a Terrier with deft puck handling, taking down a Michigan defender and launching a backhander for the score.

Dans Locmelis, the Bruins’ fourth-round pick in 2022, scored his first goal of the season on Saturday, scoring the game-winner in UMass’ 4-3 win at AIC.

Even though the second-year forward failed to score in his first seven games, coach Greg Carvel had plenty of praise for Locmelis a few weeks ago.

“He’s doing everything,” Carvel said. “I don’t even realize how well he’s playing in games until I watch the video. His skating is very strong. His hockey sense is great. … I would like to see him get more opportunities, but he is creating opportunities for others. …He is the most reliable player we have. He does everything at a really high level.

Hopkinton native Chris Delaney has five goals and two assists in his first six games with UMass Lowell. The freshman forward was one of five River Hawks to score in a 5-4 overtime win at Holy Cross as Lowell rallied from a three-goal deficit to improve to 5-1.

Some prognosticators estimated Sacred Heart would finish first in Atlantic Hockey America, making Bentley’s sweep of a home-and-home series against the Pioneers impressive. Graduate student AJ Hodges, now in his second year with the Falcons after three seasons at Michigan State, has a three-game scoring streak.

Bentley (4-3-1) will play its next six games at home, starting this weekend with a pair of games against Rochester.
