McBain Nets a Pair in 4-2 Victory to Open Ledyard Classic
December 30, 2021 | Men's Hockey
HANOVER, N.H. – No. 20 Boston College scored four straight goals and secured a 4-2 victory over Mercyhurst on Thursday afternoon to open the 32nd Ledyard Classic at Dartmouth's Thompson Arena.
Â
The Eagles extended their unbeaten streak to five games (3-0-2) and improved to 9-5-3 (5-3-2 HEA) overall. BC will face the winner of the New Hampshire vs. Dartmouth nightcap on Friday at either 4 p.m. or 7:30 p.m. in the Championship Game.
Â
Jack McBain netted a pair of goals to give the senior 11 on the season, while Nikita Nesterenko posted a pair of assists. Matt Argentina picked up his second of the season and Aidan Hreschuk registered his first collegiate goal for the fourth and final tally.
Â
Sophomore Henry Wilder (2-1-0) stopped 28 of the 30 Laker shots he faced to earn the win.
Â
Mercyhurst (4-10-4) opened the scoring on the power play at 9:08 of the first period when Gueorgui Feduolov converted a rebound on his backhand through netfront traffic.
Â
McBain knotted the score with a shorthanded tally at 4:05 of the first, tucking a forehand around the right pad of Hank Johnson (33 saves). Nesterenko and Marshall Warren collected the two assists on McBain's 10th of the year.
Â
The Eagles stormed ahead midway through the second period with a pair of goals in the span of 1:06. From the right doorstep, Mike Posma tipped a loose puck to Argentina on the edge of the crease for his second of the year. McBain then redirected a right wing shot-pass from Brandon Kruse on the power play for a 3-1 cushion.
Â
Hreschuk added a fourth for Boston College seven minutes into the third as the rookie snapped a shot high short side from the top of the right circle.
Â
Austin Heidemann pulled a goal back for the Lakers with 2:21 remaining.Â
BC held a 37-30 advantage in shots on goal, led by five each from Hreschuk, Trevor Kuntar and Colby Ambrosio.
