    With a two-goal performance, including the game-winner, Boston College sophomore forward was named Hockey East's Co-Player of the Week on Monday.

    Let the good times roll for Ryan Leonard.

    The Washington Capitals draft pick picked up another accolade, named the Hockey East's Co-Player of the Week on Monday.

    Leonard tallied two goals on a career-high 11 shots, including the go-ahead goal with under a minute left in regulation, in Boston College's 4-2 win over Western Michigan.

    The sophomore forward has accumulated four points on three goals and one assist through the first four games.

    Leonard and No. 2-ranked Boston College face a big road test this week against No. 10 St. Cloud State.

    Co-Player of the Week: Owen Cole, F (UMass Lowell)

    Cole has been on fire to begin the year but took his game to another level this past weekend.

    The senior forward scored a goal and tallied three assists in UMass Lowell's 6-3 win on the road against Merrimack.

    Including Saturday's effort, Cole has three goals and four assists, making his seven points the most on the River Hawks roster.

    Cole and No. 20-ranked UMass Lowell square off with Holy Cross on Friday before a home-and-home with Boston University awaits the following weekend.

    Defender of the Week: Tom Willander, D (Boston University)

    Willander helped BU split a two-game series at the Ralph against North Dakota.

    The sophomore blueliner picked up a secondary assist on the Terriers' first goal of the game in Friday's 7-2 loss.

    Willander scored a power-play goal, the game-winner, late in the third period on Saturday.

    The Vancouver Canucks draft pick has two goals and three assists in five games, making his five points tied for the second-most on BU's roster.

    Goaltender of the Week: Tyler Muszelik, G (UConn)

    Muszelik backstopped the Huskies to a road tie and a home win against UMass last weekend.

    The junior netminder stopped a combined 57-of-62 shots on goal, including 27-of-29 in Saturday's 3-2 win.

    Muszelik owns a 2.32 goals-against average and a .910 save percentage through six appearances this season.

    Rookie of the Week: Will Elger, F (Providence)

    Elger is off to a great start in his first year with the Friars.

    The 19-year-old forward picked up two goals on four shots in a two-game road series against Vermont.

    Elger scored in the second period to give Providence a two-goal lead on Friday.

    He tallied his second goal of the weekend on Saturday early in the second period.
