An update on the weekend's action...

All four teams with Flames prospects played two games this weekend, and all four teams won one and lost one.

MSU hosted Ferris State for two games. MSU lost Friday's game 1-0, despite outshooting FSU 36-16. They rebounded to win Saturday's game 4-1. DeBlouw was held off the score sheet in both games.

Colgate hosted Mercyhurst this weekend. Colgate won Friday's game 4-0. Mercyhurst won Saturday's game 2-1. After Harrison was named ECAC Player of the Week last week, he did not have a point this weekend.

Providence and Boston University played a home-and-home series this weekend, with the visiting team going home with the victory both nights. Friday night, Providence played their home opener. BU won the game 4-1. All three Flames prospects played in a game for PC for the first time this season, but it wasn't a good night for any of them. Gillies made 37 saves in the game, but it wasn't enough. Jankowski and Gilmour were both held to zero points. Jankowski was a -3 and Gilmour a -2. On the other side, Hickey also had zero points but was a +2 in the BU win.

Fortunes changed on Saturday night at BU. Gillies again made 37 saves, but this time, it was enough as PC won the game 2-1. Jankowski scored his first goal of the season in only his third game. It was an early powerplay goal and PC held the lead the rest of the way. John Gilmour didn't play in Saturday's game. For BU, Hickey had 5 shots in the game, but no points.


Providence has had a tough schedule in October, with 5 of their 6 games on the road, and their last 4 against nationally-ranked top-10 teams. Their schedule gets slightly easier in November, so if they are the real deal that they were predicted to be at the start of the season, they should start putting together a nice string of wins this month.
