UConn men’s hockey will start sophomore Logan Terness in its season opener against Vermont on Saturday, head coach Mike Cavanaugh told The UConn Blog. Terness edged out freshman Arsenii Sergeev to take the ice in the opener, though it wouldn’t be a surprise if the two split the weekend.
Terness has made just one start for the Huskies, a 3-1 loss at AIC last January. He saved 28 of 31 shots and played well despite the team’s worst performance of the season in front of him. Terness would’ve seen more action early in the year had he not suffered an ankle injury that kept him out for a couple of weeks and continued to hamper him for much of the first half.
