Here is my US College Hockey Online preview of Maine's weekend series. You can check out the preview of all the Hockey East games by going to the "Features" section at: http://www.uscollegehockey.com Maine (6-6-1, 1-4-1 HE) at Boston College (6-6-1, 3-3-1 HE) Friday and Saturday, 7 p.m., Conte Forum, Chestnut Hill, MA After a midweek 4-2 win over Northeastern, Boston College lost 6-3 to Clarkson before getting Jerry York his 500th career win with a come from behind 6-4 win at St. Lawrence. "I told the team not to think about 500," said York. "We kid about it sometimes, but we're focused on other things. We try to downplay individual achievements and emphasize our team goals." Beyond the milestone win, the biggest news out of Chestnut Hill is that goalie Greg Taylor will return to play this weekend. The decision to play him in one game or two has not yet been made, but he will play in at least one. In the interim, Mike Correia has filled in well, though not quite at Taylor's level. "He started slowly," said York, "but he's come on real strong. He's had a tough stretch [with Taylor out], playing a lot of games in a short amount of time. But now he say say, 'Hey, I can play at this level.' " York has emphasized keeping the shot totals down, a point even more important in Taylor's absence. Prior to the Eagles' road trip to Clarkson and St. Lawrence, they had held powerful UNH to 20 and 24 shots in losing efforts and then Northeastern to 23. On the road, however, they surrendered 33 to Clarkson and 39 to St. Lawrence. With totals like that, Taylor's return gains added significance. "Our power play is slowly getting better," said York. "We started out this season 0 for 18, but we're looking a little more dangerous out there now." BC features sophomore Marty Reasoner and four freshmen -- Mike Mottau, Jeff Farkas, Blake Bellefeuille and Kevin Caulfield -- on its top man-advantage unit. Bellefeuille earned Hockey East's Rookie of the Week honors with a goal and an assist in all three BC games this past week. He is tied for the league lead in rookie scoring with eight goals and six assists in 12 games. Maine came back for a 4-3 win in the semifinal round of the Governors' Cup against Lowell before losing decisively to the second-ranked UNH Wildcats. "I thought we played well against Lowell," said interim coach Greg Cronin. "We outshot them 31-15. As usual, we had to come from behind to win it. In the second period we outshot them 11-3 but were outscored 2-1, which has been a reflection of our entire season. But I thought we played a solid game defensively and the puck started to go in for us in the third period. "Against New Hampshire I thought it was a good first period by both teams. Then they opened it up in the second period. They capitalized on some turnovers on our part. They're a talented team. You turn the puck over in dangerous areas of the ice against them and they're going to score. They took advantage of that and won the game decidedly, 7-2." Walk-on goalie Javier Gorriti replaced Alfie Michaud in both games, earning his first Division I win, over UMass-Lowell. Although Cronin has delivered biting criticisms of Michaud this year, he supported his goalie this time. "Alfie's playing real well," he said. Cronin said that he did not yet know whether Gorriti would play this weekend. The many Black Bear injuries seem to be abating. Ben Guite missed the UNH game with an elbow injury and Bobby Stewart has been out with a knee problem. Cronin hopes to have them both back for the BC series. PICK: Boston College sweeps, 5-4 and 4-2.
