No. 10 Eagles Play Complete Game in 5-1 Victory Over No. 8 Denver
October 23, 2021 | Men's Hockey
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – No. 10 Boston College rebounded from a pair of losses with a 5-1 victory over eighth-ranked Denver on Saturday night at Kelley Rink to move back above .500 at 3-2-1 overall.
Â
Drew Helleson (1-2-3) and Jack McBain (1-1-2) each had goals as part of multi-point performances, while linemates Marc McLaughlin and Colby Ambrosio posted a pair of assists. Â
Â
Graduate student Eric Dop stopped 26 of the 27 Denver shots he faced for his second win as an Eagle.
Â
Helleson opened the scoring at 4:03 of the second period, fluttering a shot off Matt Davis' left shoulder through traffic from the center point. McLaughlin won the faceoff cleanly to Ambrosio for the two assists on Helleson's first of the year.
Â
The Eagles doubled their lead late in the middle frame following a wild scramble in front of the Denver net. A loose puck came out to the left wing half boards for Ambrosio, who kicked a pass into the slot with his left skate for Trevor Kuntar to bury low glove side.
Â
The Pioneers (4-2-0) pulled back within a goal two minutes into the third when Ryan Barrow deflected a Brett Stapley shot above Dop's glove.
Â
McBain restored the two-goal cushion with six minutes remaining on the power play as he followed a Helleson point shot by batting the puck out of mid-air to beat Davis.
Â
Marshall Warren banked home an empty-netter with 2:18 left and Nikita Nesterenko registered his third goal of the weekend to cap the scoring.
Â
Boston College travels north to Burlington for a two-game series against Vermont next weekend on Oct. 29-30 at Gutterson Fieldhouse.
