Boston College (28-3-3) won its fifth-straight Hockey East regular-season crown with a 19-2-3 conference record, leading second-place Providence (12-7-5) by a record-tying 12 points in the standings. Vermont (10-18-5) finished the year with a 7-13-4 conference record and 18 points.
While BC swept the teams' three-game regular-season Hockey East series, the combined margin of victory was just four goals. BC topped the Catamounts, 4-2, in Burlington, Vermont, on Oct. 22, before taking a 3-2 win in overtime at Kelley Rink on Jan. 19. The following day on Jan. 20, BC edged UVM, 2-1, behind a two-goal, third-period rally.
This will be the teams' first-ever meeting in the Hockey East Quarterfinals, but the third postseason meeting overall. BC is 2-0-0 against UVM in playoff action, including a 4-3 overtime win in the 2017 Hockey East semifinals.
The Eagles have hosted the Hockey East Tournament quarterfinals each year since the event was expanded from six teams – with the top two teams gaining byes to the semifinals – to eight teams in 2013.
