Goal descriptions
FIRST GOAL (1-0 Boston College) - FIRST PERIOD - Jesper Mattila - 19:42.9
The Eagles took a 1-0 lead late in the opening period on Mattila's second of the season. With Boston College transitioning up ice, Aapeli Rasanen lofted the puck up to David Cotton entering the attacking zone. Cotton then dropped to Mattila joining the rush, who tossed a shot off the skate of a Northeastern defenseman and past Primeau for the score.
SECOND GOAL (2-0 Boston College) - THIRD PERIOD - Graham McPhee - 9:16
Boston College extended the lead to two with a power play strike midway through the final frame on McPhee's fourth of the season. As the Eagles operated in the attacking zone, Michael Kim fed the puck down to Christopher Brown in the right corner. Brown then spotted McPhee cutting to the slot, and hit him with a pass for the one-timer past Primeau.
THIRD GOAL (3-0 Boston College) - THIRD PERIOD - Ron Greco - 9:51
The Eagles made it a three-goal game just 35 seconds later as Ron Greco took a feed from Jesper Mattila before flinging a backhand from below the goal line off the back of Primeau and in.
FOURTH GOAL (4-0 Boston College) - THIRD PERIOD - Julius Mattila - 11:40
The Eagles were the beneficiary of another fortuitous bounce with 11:40 to play in regulation as Julius Mattila controlled the puck along the left wall before tossing a shot towards the cage that caught the leg of a Northeastern defenseman and got through Primeau for Greco's first of the season.
FIFTH GOAL (4-1 Boston College) - THIRD PERIOD - John Picking - 16:41
Northeastern got one back late in regulation on Picking's first collegiate tally. After Picking won the face-off back to Jeremy Davies, Davies sent the puck along to Eetu Selanne along the wall. Selanne's shot towards Woll was then redirected by Picking to cut the deficit to three.
Stats of the game:
- Davies now has points in each of his last four games (two goals, two assists), tying a career-long.
- Picking scored his first collegiate goal on Saturday while Selanne added his first college point.
