Air Force's power play is clicking at a nation-best 27.7 percent, nearly 4 percentage points better than Boston University (23.8).

The Falcons are 10 for 19 with the man-advantage in the past three games, including a 5-for-6 performance against Sacred Heart last Saturday.

At the beginning of the season, the Falcons' top power-play line was steered by forwards Josh Frider, Brent Olson and Jacques Lamoureux.

But the trio of Jeff Hajner, Matt Fairchild and Derrick Burnett has taken over as of late.

"We started Hajner's line first on the power play on Saturday night," coach Frank Serratore said. "Being the brilliant coach that I am, after they went 2 for 2, I kept putting them out there. There was just something that told me, ‘Maybe you should just keep putting them out there, Frank.' "
