BU Reunion in Scranton

Three Recent BU Grads Play in AHL Season Opener


The Scranton Wilkes-Barre Penguins beat the Syracuse Crunch 4-2 last night in each team's season opener.

Goaltender Johnny Curry stopped 26 of 28 shots and Brian Strait assisted on a goal.  Strait also took a two-minute minor just two minutes into the game for hooking.

Chris Higgins didn't get on the scoresheet in his first professional game, but he did record two shots on goal.

Former Northeastern Goalie Brad Thiessen is Curry's back-up in Scranton.

The next time the teams meet, there could be a fourth Terrier in the mix.  The Penguins organization claimed Chris Borque off waivers.  He could be added to Pittsburgh's NHL roster.
