COCKERILL BACK IN ACTION FOR BOSTON UNIVERSITY:

Logan Cockerill is back in action for Boston University Terriers after missing a majority of the season with an undisclosed injury.
Cockerill was initially hurt in BU's third game of the season on Oct. 19 and did not return to the lineup until Jan. 17 against Merrimack. Cockerill has played in four games since his return, notching an assist in a loss to Boston College on Jan. 18.


NEWKIRK POSTS THREE-POINT WEEK:

Reece Newkirk recorded three points (2G, 1A) in two games last week, extending his point streak to four games (4G, 2A). Newkirk's four-game point streak comes on the heels of his 17-game point streak, which lasted from Nov. 30 to Jan. 14, tied for the second-longest point streak in the WHL this season.
Newkirk, the Isles' 2019 fifth-round pick (147th overall), now has 23 goals on the season, which ties his career-high, set last season. Newkirk's 55 points are four shy of his career-high (59) also set last season.
