#15 Boston College
scored twice in a 44-second span in the first period and its goalie Joe Woll
stopped 36 of 37 shots as the Eagles went on to a 4-1 win over the Terriers at
Agganis Arena. The loss, following Friday night’s 7-4 win at BC, continues the unsatisfying
pattern of one win, one loss weekends that have characterized the first half of
BU’s season.
BU was unable to convert on any of its six power play chances, but managed to kill five BC power plays.

The Eagles opened the
scoring at 13:33 of the first period on an odd-man rush when Connor Moore flipped a backdoor pass
into a half-open net. Less than a minute later, skating four-on-four, David
Cotton stripped the puck from Chad Krys and skated in alone on Jake Oettinger,
who made the initial save, but Cotton slid the rebound home for a 2-0 lead.
After having been
outshot in the first period, BU carried the action in the second with a 17-9
shot advantage and finally got on the board when Shane Bowers deflected
Kasper Kotkansalo’s point shot over Woll’s glove hand. Logan Cockerill also
assisted. However, BC regained the two-goal margin when Ron Greco scored his
third goal of the weekend late in the period, taking a drop pass and firing it
from the left circle.

BU again had the
territorial and shot advantage in the final period but couldn’t solve Woll, who
turned aside all 13 Terrier shots, including a point-blank shot by Jordan
Greenway after Bobo Carpenter’s entry pass. Graham McPhee’s empty
netter closed out the scoring.
A clearly frustrated Head
Coach David Quinn said:
“Unfortunately two costly mistakes early put us down 2-0 again. It’s tough to dig yourself out of that hole when you have a first-place team in here with a goalie like that.“We had some great chances. We just ran into a great goalie and we just didn’t finish our opportunities, and if you weren’t getting the chances, it would be a lot more alarming. I think we’ve been more opportunistic over the last three weeks and that bodes well for us moving forward.”
