Game Day Terriers vs. Friars for the Hockey East Championship

Following overtime wins last night in the semifinals, #4 seed BU will take on #3 seed Providence for the Hockey East Championship. The Terriers are making their 12^th title game appearance and will be seeking their ninth conference title. The game at TD Garden is slated to start at 7 p.m. and can be seen on NESN-plus, ESPN3 and TSNGo.

BU and Providence have met once previously in a Hockey East Championship game with the Terriers taking a 3-2 win in the final college hockey game played at the old Boston Garden.  Providence won the only two match-ups played at TD Garden, winning the 1996 Hockey East semifinal and the NCAA title game in 2015.

Two months ago, the teams played a 2-2 overtime tie at Agganis Arena. In November, they traded shutout wins, with the Friars taking a 3-0 victory at home and BU's Jake Oettinger pitching a shutout the next night at Agganis, 2-0.
