The Boston College men’s hockey team fell to Providence on Friday night, losing in a shootout after skating to a 1-1 tie through regulation and overtime. The Eagles were outplayed for basically the entire 60 minutes, but Mitch Benson turned in his best performance of the season and Cutter Gauthier put home a power play goal to help BC get a result out of a game that they didn’t have much business being in.
Providence was by far the better team early on, forcing BC into a number of turnovers in their own zone and causing Benson to be sharp early on.
