The Boston College men’s hockey team knocked off UConn 5-4 in the quarterfinals of the Hockey East tournament, avoiding a third period collapse to advance to the semifinals. The Eagles got goals from four different players and looked on the way to a comfortable win after two periods, but needed a late goal from Jack Malone to come away with the result they wanted.
The Eagles jumped out to a lead just over two minutes into the game on a goal from Jacob Bengtsson. BC’s third line put together a great shift of forechecking and won some battles down low before Bengtsson took a shot from the point that found its way through for his third goal of the season.
