When Boston College won the Hockey East regular season title over the weekend to earn the No. 1 seed, the team knew where and when it would be playing in the conference tournament. 

However, the Eagles had to wait to find out their opponent for the quarterfinals until after the opening round of games on Wednesday night. 

After a thriller, Boston College now knows its matchup. 

The Eagles will host the No. 9 Northeastern Huskies on Saturday night.

Northeastern defeated No. 8 Merrimack 3-2 in double overtime with a goal from forward Dylan Hryckowian at the 4:39 mark to advance the Huskies into the next round.

The Eagles and Huskies will square off on Saturday night. Puck drop is set for 7:30 p.m. on NESN+ and ESPN+.
