Boston College Men’s Hockey Blows Lead, Ties Northeastern, Huskies Earn Hockey East Shootout Point

Boston College men’s hockey continued to struggle tonight, blowing a 4-1 lead at Matthews Arena to end up with an official 4-4 tie and a shootout loss that gives Northeastern an extra Hockey East point.

The Huskies took an early 1-0 lead, tipping the puck into the net right off a face-off just 4 minutes into the game. The Huskies dominated until BC got a power play midway through the period, and great positioning from the Eagles led to a Cutter Gauthier goal to tie it up at 1. Despite some great chances for BC late in the period, the tie held and the teams went into intermission knotted at 1.
