The No. 18 Boston College Eagles (2-4-1, 0-2-0 HE) men’s hockey team is looking for its first conference win of the season as it travels to Burlington, Vt., for a road series against the Vermont Catamounts (3-3, 1-1 HE) starting on Friday night. 

After losing their season opener 4-3 against the No. 5 Quinnipiac Bobcats 4-3, the Eagles went on a three-game undefeated streak where they beat and tied with the Minnesota Gophers 3-1 and 2-2, then earned a road win over the RPI Engineers 5-1. 

Since then, Boston College has gone on a three-game losing streak which includes a home loss to the No. 9 Denver Pioneers 7-3 and being swept by the No. 14 Northeastern Huskies last weekend in a home-and-home series 4-1 and 3-0. 

Vermont opened its 2025-26 campaign winning three of its first four games over the Brock Badgers 5-2, the St. Lawrence Saints 2-1, and the St. Cloud State Huskies 2-1 in overtime. The only loss in that stretch was the series finale against the Saints 5-2. 

After that, the Catamounts had a two-game skid where they lost their series finale to St. Cloud State 4-0 and their season opener with the New Hampshire Wildcats 4-2, however Vermont won the finale over the Wildcats 2-1 to split the series and enter this matchup with a little momentum. 

This will be the 81st meeting between the two teams. Boston College leads the all-time series 54-18-8 which includes the last four matchups. A pair of those wins were last season where the Eagles swept the Catamounts in a road series 6-3 and 4-1.
