The NCAA season has begun with a strong start by Boston University goaltender phenom Mikhail Yegorov.
Mikhail Yegorov stopped 36 of 38 shots in his season debut 4-2 win over LIU. Last season, Yegorov sported a 11-6-1 record with a 2.15 GAA and .927 SV% after coming over to Boston University mid-season, so it is encouraging to see the now sophomore netminder continue where he left off. This victory came with a bit of history. According to GoTerriers.com, it was the first time Boston University has ever played LIU.
It’s hard not to be excited about the rise of Mikhail Yegorov, who very much seems to be on the trajectory of a future starter in the NHL. Yes, goalies are notoriously hard to predict, but Yegorov just feels different. Of course, anything could happen and this page will track his progress closely.
Yegorov is in a great program in Boston University to develop under coach Jay Pandolfo. His position as starter is relatively secure. Backup Terriers goaltenders Max Lacroix (5 total NCAA games as a 21-year-old) and 18-year-old freshman Steven Luciano are unlikely to overtake him. There are reports on X that Boston University has also retained the services of Senior goalie Jack Perry as a depth move. All in all, it seems the Terriers plan in net is Yegorov or bust.
So, the Terriers net very much belongs to Yegorov. It will be fun to see what he does with it.
