The Boston College men’s hockey team started their season with a win on Saturday night, taking down #2 ranked Quinnipiac 2-1 on the road to spoil the defending champions banner night. Cutter Gauthier scored the game winner late in overtime to give the Eagles a win after a tightly checked, penalty filled game.
The Eagles had some opportunities early on, as Quinnipiac took a major penalty just about six minutes into the game, but BC was not able to capitalize on the extended man advantage. The two teams played a mostly solid defensive game after that, with neither able to generate much in terms of scoring chances while BC came up empty on another power play chance.
