GOAL DESCRIPTIONS
FIRST GOAL - FIRST PERIOD – David Cotton – 6:18 – POWER PLAY
• Boston College picked up the first power play of the game after Andrew Oglevie went off for hooking at 5:56 and David Cotton made the Irish pay 22 seconds later. Julius Mattila got the puck in down low on the near side to Christopher Brown and he took his chance on ND netminder Cal Petersen. The original shot was blocked but the carom kicked out to the right post and Cotton was in position to roof the rebound at 6:18 for the 1-0 lead.
SECOND GOAL - FIRST PERIOD – Julius Mattila – 13:07 – POWER PLAY
• The Eagles' power play unit continued to roll as Julius Mattila snuck a puck through heavy net presence at 13:07 to build the 2-0 lead. Connor Moore worked the cycle and backhanded the puck down to Brown behind the net. Brown kept working the cycle and provided Jul. Mattila with the puck along the far wall. Jul. Mattila tossed the puck at the net and it found its way through traffic and past Petersen for the second power play strike of the first period and a two-goal lead.
THIRD GOAL - SECOND PERIOD – Anders Bjork – 9:16 – POWER PLAY
• Notre Dame cut into the BC lead with a power play tally of its own at 9:16 of the second period. After a 4-on-4 situation subsided and gave way to an Irish power play. Connor Hurley connected with Anders Bjork at the top of the right circle. Bjork took one stride and sniped it through traffic top shelf to make it a 2-1 game.
FOURTH GOAL - SECOND PERIOD – Andew Oglevie – 14:57 – EVEN STRENGTH
• The Fighting Irish tied it up with about five minutes to go in the second on a funky bounce in front. Cam Morrison tossed the puck in deep and Jake Evans won a scrum of the wall. The puck shot out to the goal mouth to Andrew Oglevie's tape and he quickly deposited it past Jospeh Woll at 14:57 to make it a 2-2 affair.
FIFTH GOAL - SECOND PERIOD – Anders Bjork – 17:30 – SHORT HANDED
• Notre Dame's Dylan Malmquist was whistled for illegal use of handling the puck with his hands put the Irish turned it into their first lead of the night with a Bjork short-handed tally.
