Game Updates: No. 10 Boston College Men's Hockey vs. Boston University

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. — After suffering a 3-1 loss at Boston University on Friday night, No. 10 Boston College men’s hockey (19-11-1, 13-8-0 Hockey East) looks to bounce back with a second straight matchup against the Terriers (15-15-2, 11-11-0) Saturday night at Conte Forum.

Puck drop for Saturday’s contest, which marks the Eagles’ third-to-last game of the season, is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. It will be BC’s fourth matchup against its crosstown rival this season.

BU potted two first-period goals in Friday’s game at Agganis Arena, and the deficit was too much to overcome for the visiting Eagles. Sophomore forward Dean Letourneau scored BC’s only goal.

Cole Eiserman, Ryder Ritchie, and Jack Harvey tallied the Terriers’ trio of goals, and Mikhail Yegorov made 24 saves in net to earn his 14th win of the season.

Earlier in the year, BC captured its first Beanpot Championship since 2016 with a 6-2 triumph over BU. The Eagles also picked up a win against the Terriers in their last game of 2025, on Jan. 30, in which they secured a 4-1 road victory.

After hosting BU on Saturday, BC closes out the 2025-26 regular season with a road matchup against UMass Amherst, which is currently ranked No. 19 in the USCHO Division I men’s hockey poll, on Thursday, March 5, before finishing the campaign with a home contest against Northeastern on Saturday, March 7.

The Eagles have an all-time record of 138-136-20 against the Terriers, and a home record of 45-35-7.

First period:

GOAL, Boston College - Oskar Jellvik gets the Eagles on the board with an easy one-timer from just outside the crease after James Hagens slid a pass right through the slot to provide the assist. It was a goal where the assist was prettier than the goal itself. Boston College 1, Boston University 1 [2:39].

GOAL, Boston University - Freshman forward Benn Merrill scores a top-shelf breakaway goal while shorthanded to give the Terriers the first lead of the game. The Eagles still had 0:49 left on their power play after the tally, but they failed to convert. Boston University 1, Boston College 0 [7:46].

8:57 - Cole Hutson is penalized for hooking, handing the Eagles their second man advantage of the frame. Hutson was caught in a 2-on-1 in the Terriers' defensive end, which forced him to wrap up Will Vote with the blade of his stick.

10:09 - Shots on goal are in BC's favor by an 8-1 margin.

19:36 - The Eagles are sent onto the power play less than a minute into the game from Brandon Svoboda's interference.
