The Boston College men’s hockey team defeated New Hampshire 4-1 in their first game of a home-and-home series on Friday night, moving one step closer to clinching the Hockey East regular season title. The Eagles were thin at forward on the night, with Oskar Jellvik and Brady Berard missing the game and it got even worse when Teddy Stiga came out of the game after the first period, but they managed to find a way to get things done and start the weekend off on the right foot.
It was a pretty slow start to the game in the first period, with neither team able to generate much in terms of scoring chances even with an early power play look for UNH.
