BOSTON – Despite a strong 29-save effort for sophomore netminder Joseph Woll, No. 18 Boston College ran into an equally capable goaltender in freshman Cayden Primeau as he stopped all 37 Eagle attempts as BC was shutout, 3-0, in the 66th annual Beanpot semifinal contest Monday night at TD Garden.
Rookie Logan Hutsko led the Eagles' efforts with six shots while junior captain Casey Fitzgerald chipped in with four of his own.

BC HIGHLIGHTS & GAME NOTES
• Following Monday's loss, Boston College falls to 78-53, all-time, in Beanpot play while it moves to 34-12 all time against Northeastern. The Huskies finish the regular season series with a 2-1 advantage over the Eagles.
• The Eagles will play in their 31st consolation game next Monday, February 12th against the likes of either Boston University or Harvard. BC holds a 23-7 record all-time in consolation games. The Eagles have won eight of their last 10 consolation games dating back to 1992.
• On Monday nights in February, Boston College is 28-13 all-time against potential opponent Harvard while it trails the all-time series vs. the Terriers, 28-16.
• Despite the setback, head coach Jerry York's 31 wins in the Beanpot series still remains 14 more than the combined efforts of the three-other active coaches. All-time, York's 31 wins are the second most in Beanpot history, with only BU's Jack Parker having captured more wins all-time (58).
• Monday's 3-0 loss was the first time they've been on the opposite side of a shutout since January 17th, 2017 - a 3-0 setback vs. Boston University. The 23rd shutout in Beanpot history, tonight's shutout was the first time since 1988 that the Eagles have been held scoreless in a Beanpot game. The 4-0 semifinal loss in the 1988 Beanpot also came at the hands of the Huskies, coincidentally the last year Northeastern would win the Beanpot.
• Logan Hutsko led all Eagles and matched a game-high with six shots on goal for Boston College. His six SOG's matches the second most he's registered in a game this season, with only more coming against Wisconsin on October 13 (7).
GOAL DESCRIPTIONS
FIRST GOAL (1-0 – Northeastern) - FIRST PERIOD – Dylan Sikura – 9:47 – POWER-PLAY
• With junior JD Dudek in the box serving a tripping penalty, Northeastern capitalized on its second power play of the night when Dylan Sikura's shot from outside the far circle deflected off Casey Fitzgerald's stick in front of the net and skidded between Woll's body and glove for the evening's first tally. Jeremy Davies & Adam Gaudette were credited with the assists.
SECOND GOAL (2-0 – Northeastern) - SECOND PERIOD – Nolan Stevens – 15:34 – EVEN
Nolan Stevens tapped in his 18th of the season at the 15:34 mark of the second frame when he collected a rebound in front of the crease following a Dylan Sikura laser from just inside the blue line. Dylan Sikura and Adam Gaudette were awarded the helpers.
THIRD GOAL (3-0 - Northeastern) - THIRD PERIOD - Adam Gaudette - 15:21 - EVEN
Adam Gaudette picked up his third point of the night with less than five minutes remaining in the contest when he knocked in a bouncing puck that careened off the letters of Woll's jerseys but could not be covered up. Just prior, Nolan Stevens slipped a wrister through two Eagles defenders that made its way to the front of the net.
