Almost without exception, the Beanpot provides some of the highest level of hockey you’ll see throughout the entire season. In addition to the simple fact that all four teams badly want to win that trophy, the programs also will typically schedule off weekends or one-off games around the tournament’s pair of Tuesdays. That means the teams come into Tuesday with fresh legs and a jump in their step.
Both games on Tuesday night at Conte Forum were elite contests between hungry teams, but the Boston College vs. Northeastern matchup in the nightcap was truly great hockey. In the end, despite a valiant effort out of the Huskies, Boston College came away with the 5-2 win and earned a spot in next week’s Beanpot championship game.
