The Boston College men’s hockey team dropped their first game back from winter break, falling to Merrimack 5-2. It was an ugly start to the second half of the season for the Eagles, who jumped out to an early lead and seemed to be in control of things for a while before things just completely fell apart. Eamon Powell, Will Skahan, and Lukas Gustafsson all returned from injury and five of the six Eagles who played for Team US in the World Juniors were in the lineup - Drew Fortescue did not play - but they played a game full of defensive miscues and to their credit, Merrimack made them pay for it.
