CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. — On Friday night, No. 11 Boston College men’s hockey will host the Vermont Catamounts for a Hockey-East matchup at 7 p.m. ET in Conte Forum.
The Eagles (15-8-1, 10-5-0 HE) have already played UVM twice this season, on Nov. 7 and 8 in Burlington, Vt., and earned the pair of road wins against the Catamounts, 2-1 and 5-0, respectively.
Vermont (11-14-0, 6-9-0 HE) sits in ninth place in the Hockey East standings while BC is positioned in sole second place, just two points behind No. 7 Providence.
The Eagles will head into Friday’s matchup on a four-game winning streak, consisting of a series sweep against New Hampshire, a 4-1 defeat of Boston University in the 299th edition of the Battle. of Comm. Ave., and a 5-1 triumph over Harvard in the 2026 Beanpot semifinals on Monday.
After this weekend, BC and BU will play in the Beanpot Championship, which also marks the 300th Battle of Comm. Ave. — the historic rivalry between the two schools, which are physically connected by Boston’s public transportation system, the T.
The title game is officially scheduled for Monday, Feb. 9 at 7:30 p.m. at TD Garden in Boston, Mass. It will be broadcast both on NHL Network and NESN.
Here are the live updates for Friday’s contest between the Eagles and the Catamounts:
First period:
- GOAL, Vermont – Points leader Colin Kessler scores his fourth goal of the season on a breakaway to hand the Catamounts an early lead. Kessler made a deceiving forehand-backhand deke around BC goalie Louka Cloutier in the process of scoring. UVM 1, Boston College 0 [18:40].
