CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. — On Friday night, No. 11 Boston College men’s hockey will host the Vermont Catamounts for a Hockey-East matchup at 7 p.m. ET in Conte Forum.

The Eagles (15-8-1, 10-5-0 HE) have already played UVM twice this season, on Nov. 7 and 8 in Burlington, Vt., and earned the pair of road wins against the Catamounts, 2-1 and 5-0, respectively.

Vermont (11-14-0, 6-9-0 HE) sits in ninth place in the Hockey East standings while BC is positioned in sole second place, just two points behind No. 7 Providence.

The Eagles will head into Friday’s matchup on a four-game winning streak, consisting of a series sweep against New Hampshire, a 4-1 defeat of Boston University in the 299th edition of the Battle. of Comm. Ave., and a 5-1 triumph over Harvard in the 2026 Beanpot semifinals on Monday.

After this weekend, BC and BU will play in the Beanpot Championship, which also marks the 300th Battle of Comm. Ave. — the historic rivalry between the two schools, which are physically connected by Boston’s public transportation system, the T.

The title game is officially scheduled for Monday, Feb. 9 at 7:30 p.m. at TD Garden in Boston, Mass. It will be broadcast both on NHL Network and NESN.

Here are the live updates for Friday’s contest between the Eagles and the Catamounts:

Third period:

  • GOAL, Vermont - Ethan Burroughs tallies his second goal of the game on the power play. The last time the Eagles surrendered six goals in a game was on Oct. 24, 2025, in a 7-3 home loss to Denver. UVM 6, Boston College 1 [7:21].
  • 8:36 - Aram Minnetian is booked for slashing.
  • GOAL, Vermont - Matteo Michels notched a short-handed goal on a breakaway and was hooked in the process. UVM 5, Boston College 1 [14:21].

  • GOAL, Vermont - Massimo Lombardi's tap-in goal from the crease extends the Catamounts' lead to three. UVM 4, Boston College 1 [17:33].

Second period:

  • GOAL, Vermont - Sebastian Törnqvist's long-distance wristshot from the point zoomed right through a pile of screens in front of the net, blocking Cloutier's view of the puck. UVM 3, Boston College 1 [7:40].
  • 8:56 - Andre Gasseau is penalized for cross checking, putting the Catamounts on the power play for the first time since the 10-minute mark of the initial frame.
  • 10:21 - UVM's Caeden Herrington thought he had scored the Catamounts' third goal of the game, but it turned out that he kicked the puck into the net, and the goal was reversed after an official review.
  • GOAL, BC - James Hagens picks up his 15th goal of the season — and 29th point — with a tip-in goal off Lukas Gustafsson's wrister from the point. The goal came with just a few seconds left of on the power play. UVM 2, Boston College 1 [19:13].

First period:

  • 1:02 - Ethan Burroughs picks up Vermont's third penalty of the period for hooking, handing the Eagles another power play — which will extend into the second frame.

  • 10:12 - Oscar Hemming is sent to the penalty box for boarding.
  • GOAL, Vermont - Ethan Burroughs increases the Catamounts' lead to two with a rifle from the far side of the left circle. The puck dinked off the post behind Cloutier's glove before nestling into the twine. UVM 2, Boston College 0 [11:36].
  • GOAL, Vermont - UVM points leader Colin Kessler scores his fourth goal of the season on a breakaway to hand the Catamounts an early lead. Kessler made a deceiving forehand-backhand deke around BC goalie Louka Cloutier in the process of scoring. UVM 1, Boston College 0 [18:40].

Pregame:

  • Sophomore forward Teddy Stiga is back in the lineup for the Eagles, replacing Paul Davey.
