The Boston College men’s hockey team played another mid-week away game tonight, as the Eagles faced Merrimack in a Hockey East battle. This was easily the roughest BC has looked all season, and the Eagles dropped this one by a score of 3-1.
The Warriors took a 1-0 lead just under halfway through the first period, scoring from straight in front of the net. This lead held for the rest of the first, with neither team getting any outstanding chances on net.
The Eagles started the second period by almost immediately going on the penalty kill, but were able to kill it off to keep from going down 2-0 early.
