"My all-around game has really improved at BU," Bellows said. "Coach [David] Quinn, [Albie] O'Connell and [Scott] Young are great coaches and they help you round out every part of your game. I think I'm getting a lot stronger with the off-ice training and it's an unbelievable experience playing college hockey."

Ilya Sorokin Records 20th Win, Named KHL All-Star:

Ilya Sorokin won his 20th game of the season on Thursday, recording 20 saves in a 2-0 shutout over Dinamo Riga.

David Quenneville Breaks Leg, Halts Career Year:
