CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Four minutes and twenty second into overtime, sophomore Connor Moore jostled a puck loose and rookie Christopher Grando did the rest to send No. 1-seed Boston College back to TD Garden for its 24th Hockey East semifinals appearance after sweeping No. 10-seed Merrimack in a 4-3 victory on Saturday night at Kelley Rink.
Merrimack things up with 4:55 to play in regulation to force the extra frame, but Grando's overtime heroics at the 4:20 mark ended the quarterfinals playoff series right there to send the Eagles back to Causeway Street.
