Nine players had multi-point performances and Spencer Knight posted his second straight shutout
PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Second-ranked Boston College dominated No. 12 Providence 9-0 on Saturday night at Schneider Arena to sweep a home-and-home series. The Eagles remained perfect at 4-0-0 after out-scoring the Friars (0-2-0) by a score of 12-0 over the weekend.
Matt Boldy, Colby Ambrosio and Trevor Kuntar all had two-goal performances for BC, which finished the night with three shorthanded goals. Logan Hutsko (1-2-3) and Patrick Giles (career-high three assists) joined Boldy with three-point nights.
Nikita Nesterenko (1-1-2), Marc McLaughlin (1-1-2), Mike Hardman (0-2-2) and Jack McBain (0-2-2) gave the Eagles nine players with multiple points. Rookie Harrison Roy picked up his first career point with an assist.
Spencer Knight posted his second straight shutout, the seventh of his young career, with a total 36 saves. Knight has an active shutout streak of 132Â minutes dating back to the third period last Saturday at UMass.Â
The offensive output was the Eagles' highest since beating Northeastern 10-1 at home in February.
Boston College was 7-for-7 on the penalty kill, including three separate 5-on-3's.
