AMESBURY, Mass. – Providence College freshman defenseman
Guillaume Richard (Cap-Sante, Que.) was announced as Hockey East's Defender of the Month for October on Wednesday (Nov. 3).
The 2021 draft choice of the Columbus Blue Jackets (4
th round, 101
st overall) recorded a goal and four assists, with a league-best +10 rating during the month of October. Richard is part of a Friars defense that has surrendered only 19 goals through nine games played this season (2.11 GAA).
Richard and the No. 7/8 Friars will begin a key Hockey East home-and-home series this weekend against No. 12 UMass on Friday night in Amherst, followed by a Saturday night tilt at Schneider Arena. Both games can be seen live on NESN (Friday) and on NESN+ (Saturday).
