Senior captain Marc McLaughlin scored shorthanded just 25 seconds into overtime to secure an extra point for Boston College
DURHAM, N.H. – Captain Marc McLaughlin snapped a shot high glove side on a partial breakaway to beat Mike Robinson for a shorthanded game-winning goal just 25 seconds into overtime on Sunday at the Whittemore Center.
Â
No. 2 Boston College pulled out a 3-2 road victory over New Hampshire to split a home-and-home series. The Eagles improved to 6-2-0 with two Hockey East points, while the Wildcats fell back below .500 at 3-4-1.
Â
McLaughlin finished the contest with a multi-point performance on a goal and an assist. The junior was plus-2 and won 15 of his 22 faceoffs on the night for BC, which never trailed.Â
Â
Classmate Casey Carreau netted his first goal of the season in the opening period, while sophomore Mike Hardman collected his fourth in the middle frame.
Â
Spencer Knight earned the win in net to extend his personal unbeaten streak to 14 games (13-0-1) dating back to last season. In his first action since returning from the World Junior Championship, Knight made 27 saves including a highlight reel stop with his left pad extended in the closing minutes of regulation. With his second stop of the night, the sophomore recorded his 1,000th career save.Â
Â
Both of New Hampshire's goals came on the power play as the Wildcats went 2-for-8 with the man advantage, while the Eagles finished 0-for-3.
Â
Matt Boldy extended his point streak to six games to start his sophomore season with an assist on Hardman's goal.
