On Friday night, Boston College hosted Providence College at Conte Forum for a Hockey East showdown between these two teams tied for 4th place in conference. Providence thoroughly dominated the game, winning 7-0 and running the Eagles out of their own building.
Boston College got off to a strong first few minutes, but from then on in the first period it was all Providence. The Friars put one on the board halfway into the opening frame and then did it again, this time on a powerplay, as the period was about to wind down. Goaltender Eric Dop had to stop a lot more shots than usual and let those two get by to make it 2-0 Providence after the first period.
