Next man up. That was the motto when Brendan Silk went down with an injury early in the season. That was the motto when Jeremy Bracco departed for Canada. And that has to be the mentality now that top-line winger Chris Calnan is out for an extended period of time with an upper body injury. The Eagles will need to make due for at least the next couple of months.
It starts tonight in Hartford, where BC will take on a UConn team that is struggling to find its legs so far in Year 2 in Hockey East, but will undoubtedly bring their A game tonight against the Eagles.
