CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. — The No. 15 Boston College Eagles (6-4-1, 4-2-0 HE) men’s hockey team is getting ready for another ranked matchup as it hosts the No. 10 Maine Black Bears (7-4-1, 4-2-0 HE) for a series this weekend. 

The Eagles are looking to continue their hot streak. Currently, Boston College is riding a four-game winning streak with a pair of series sweeps over the Vermont Catamounts 2-1 and 5-0 from Nov. 7-8 and the No. 17 UMass Minutemen 7-3 and 4-0 this past weekend.

The Black Bears are looking to get back in the win column after splitting their series with Vermont over the weekend, taking the opener 7-0 and losing the finale 2-1. 

So far this season, Maine has earned series sweeps over Holy Cross and No. 18 Boston University, split its series with UMass, Vermont, and Colgate, and went winless against No. 9 Quinnipiac, tying the opener 4-4 and losing the finale 4-0. 

This will be the 142nd and 143rd time that the two teams have played against each other. Boston College leads the all-time series 74-56-11 which includes the most recent meeting, a series last season that the Eagles swept 3-2 and 3-0 on Nov. 8 and 10, 2024.
