BOSTON— The No. 10 Boston College Eagles (19-10-1, 13-7-0 HE) men’s hockey team begins a home-and-home series with the Boston University Terriers (14-15-2, 10-11-0 HE) at Agganis Arena on Friday night. 

The Eagles will be looking to extend their hot streak. Heading into the matchup, Boston College is riding a three-game winning streak. During the stretch, the team has earned victories over Merrimack 4-2 and swept No. 13 UConn last weekend, winning the series opener 5-2 and the finale 2-1 in overtime. 

On the other side of the ice, the Terriers are looking to end the regular season on a positive note. Boston University is coming off a series split with New Hampshire, falling in the first game 4-1 and winning the finale 5-3. 

Both teams will try to improve their place in the Hockey East standings with just a few games left in the regular season. 

Currently, Boston College is in second place in the conference with 39 points, seven below top-ranked Providence and two above UConn, while Boston University is in seventh place with 29 points.

After the series this weekend, Boston College has two games left on its slate before the postseason, a game at No. 19 UMass on Thursday and a home game against Northeastern on March 7. 

Boston University has one final regular season game at UMass Lowell on March 7 before the Hockey East Tournament.
