The Boston College men’s hockey team hit the road tonight to open Hockey East play at UNH. The Eagles defeated the Wildcats by a score of 4-2, giving them a 1-0 Hockey East record to start the year.
The Eagles started off in a tough spot, going on the penalty kill just 2 minutes into the game as Trevor Kuntar was sent to the box. BC was able to kill the penalty, and Mitch Benson followed it up with some good even strength saves to keep the game scoreless.
BC picked up another penalty just over 7 minutes into the game, and the Wildcats scored about halfway through to take a 1-0 lead.
