Live Updates for No. 14 Boston College Men's Hockey's Matchup at Merrimack

Fresh off winning the 2026 Beanpot tournament for the first time since 106 over rival Boston University, the No. 14 Boston College men’s hockey program is set to face Merrimack on Friday night at 7 p.m. ET.

The Eagles, who are the visitors for Friday’s contest but will host the Warriors at Conte Forum on Saturday night, are 8-2-1 on the road this year compared to 5-6 at home.

BC is currently perched at No. 12 in the NCAA Division I men’s hockey NPI rankings, which ultimately decides which teams will participate in the NCAA Tournament. After conference championships are over, the Championship Committee seeds the entire field from one to 16 within four regionals of four teams.

The winners of the six Division I conference championships receive automatic bids into the tournament, so it is not entirely necessary for the Eagles to stay in the top-16 by the end of the season, but it will surely help their case.

After its series with Merrimack over the weekend, BC concludes the 2025-26 regular season with a home-and-away series against UConn, which is currently ranked No. 11 in the USCHO men’s hockey poll and No. 15 in NPI, a home-and-away series against BU, and a road matchup at No. 19 UMass (No. 21 in NPI) before playing Northeastern in its season finale.
