EISERMAN NAMED HOCKEY EAST ROOKIE OF THE WEEK

Cole Eiserman earned conference recognition, as he was named the Hockey East Rookie of the Week, after scoring a pair of goals - including the game winner – for Boston University in Friday’s 4-2 win over UConn.

The Islanders’ 2024 first-round pick (20th overall) is off to a hot start with Boston University, putting up four goals three games into his freshman campaign. His four tallies leads BU and ties 10 other players in the NCAA for the second-highest goal total.

The 18-year-old got the scoring started for BU early in the second period, tying the game off a faceoff win from teammate and fellow Isles prospect Kamil Bednarik, who the Islanders in the second round of the 2024 NHL Draft (61st overall).

Eiserman hit the scoresheet again with a power-play goal in the third period that extended the lead to 3-1. His goal held as the game winner, and his two-point performance marks his first multi-goal performance of his collegiate career.

Eiserman and the Terriers are undefeated through the first three games of the season, outscoring opponents 13-5.

BERG SPARKS COMEBACK IN SECOND WIN OF THE SEASON

Cameron Berg used a two-point performance (1G, 1A) to help his team overcome a 2-0 deficit and complete a comeback to win 3-2 over Minnesota State on Friday night.

Down 2-0 with under 20 minutes left to play, the Islanders’ 2021 fourth-round pick (125th overall) stepped up on the man advantage. Berg hustled from the right circle to the net, sweeping a loose puck into the net for his first power play tally and second goal of the season.

The 22-year-old raced into the zone and hunted the puck down behind the net, contributing a secondary assist on the game-tying goal at the 0:58 mark of the third period, which was 12 seconds after North Dakota’s first goal of the game. The Fighting Hawks scored midway through the frame and held on to win, 3-2.

The outing was Berg’s second multi-point game of the season and 23rd of his career, his 11th with North Dakota.
