Live Updates: No. 2 Boston College Men's Hockey at UConn
The No. 2 Boston College Eagles (7-1, 2-0 HE) men’s hockey team gets back on the road to take on the UConn Huskies (5-5-1, 2-4-1 HE) on Friday night at Toscano Family Ice Forum in Storrs, Conn.
The Eagles enter the matchup riding a six-game winning streak. After a season opening series split against the No. 4 Michigan State Spartans (W 3-0, L 4-3) in October, they have won every game since which includes victories over the AIC Yellow Jackets and No. 13 Western Michigan Broncos as well as series sweeps over the No. 12 St. Cloud State Huskies and No. 7 Maine Black Bears.
UConn, on the other hand, has had a rollercoaster of a season so far. After recording a season opening series sweep over the Colgate Raiders, the team has been swept by Merrimack, lost to Boston University, split series against Holy Cross (L 4-3 and W 3-1) and Vermont (L 1-0, W 6-5, both in overtime), and won one game as well as tied with UMass.
This will be the 28th meeting between the two programs. Boston College leads the all-time series 18-7-2. Most recently, the Eagles defeated the Huskies 5-4 in the 2024 Hockey East Tournament Quarterfinals.
