WAKEFIELD, Mass. – Senior defenseman Christian Evers was named Hockey East Player of the Week Monday afternoon after a five-point weekend against the Maine Black Bears at Gutterson Fieldhouse.

On Saturday Evers picked up two more goals and also blocked a team-high four shots. Following the weekend Evers is second on the team in scoring with five points.
