Boston College Men’s Hockey Ties Maine, Earns Extra Hockey East Point in Shootout

Boston College men’s hockey sort of broke the Alfond curse tonight, skating away with an official tie but a 3-2 shoutout win that counts for an extra Hockey East point in the standings.

Maine scored first again tonight, grabbing a loose puck in front of the net to go up 1-0 late in the first.

Ryan Leonard took a penalty early in the first to put BC down a man, but just after the penalty expired BC scored on a goal from Gabe Perrault assisted by Leonard to tie things up.

The 1-1 lead held through 2 period, despite power plays for both teams.
