WAKEFIELD, Mass. – Junior forward David Cotton has been named the Hockey East Player of the Month for November after leading the league in goals (7) and points (11) last month with a pair of game-winners and a +7 rating.

Cotton was one point shy of matching his career-high point streak (7) before being held scoreless by BU on Saturday as the calendar turned to December. He put together a career-high goal scoring streak of five games last month from Nov. 3 against Merrimack to Nov. 23 against Bentley.
