There’s an old saying in hockey that turnovers can haunt a team. There’s also a saying that if you get enough pressure on net, good things happen. For the Boston College Eagles, the latter axiom proved to be the most relevant, as the Eagles survived a two-goal scare to defeat the Boston University Terriers 4-3 after scoring three unanswered goals and finishing the job in the shootout.
The game started out as an evenly contested and back-and-forth affair with neither team getting settled in until midway through the first. The Terriers generated a prolonged scoring chance that led to Dop attempting to cover up a shot.
