The following quote is from USCHO's game recap which from this view says
BU's Bye hopes are done:

"Friday's 4-3 loss to Maine ensured that the Terriers will not get a bye in
the NCAA Tournament, while Maine remains in contention for a free pass to
the second day of the NCAA East Regionals in Worcester next weekend."
