No. 1 Boston College Men’s Hockey at No. 8 Boston University: Lines, Injuries, TV Info

The No. 1 Boston College Eagles (16-4-1, 9-3-1 HE) men’s hockey team starts a home-and-home series against the No. 8 Boston University Terriers (13-7-1, 9-3-1 HE) on Friday night at Agganis Arena in Boston.
The Eagles will enter the series as the top team in the nation for the first time this season after jumping Michigan State in the USCHO poll earlier in the week.
Both teams will enter the weekend riding four-game winning streaks. After losing its first game of 2025 to Merrimack, Boston College has won four straight against Merrimack, Harvard, and most recently a series sweep over No. 7 Providence this past weekend.
On the other hand, Boston University lost its last game of 2024 to the Yale Bulldogs and have since recorded a pair of series sweeps over Vermont and No. 18 New Hampshire.
In the Hockey East standings, the teams are two points apart. The Terriers are currently atop the conference with 28 points with the Eagles narrowly behind with 26.
This will be the 296th matchup between the cross-town rivals. Boston University leads the all-time series 140-134-21.
Puck drop is set for 7 p.m. ET.
