WAKEFIELD, Mass. – Following a career-high five point performance on Friday, forward Matt Boldy was named the Hockey East Co-Player of the Week along with Aidan McDonough of Northeastern on Monday.

Boldy posted a goal and four assists in a 7-1 victory over UMass Lowell at Kelley Rink, registering the team's first five-point game since linemate Alex Newhook against Merrimack last season on Feb. 15, 2020. It was also the first four-assist performance by an Eagle since Johnny Gaudreau at Vermont on March 9, 2013.

Boldy is tied for the Hockey East lead in points per game with 19 points in 15 contests and ranks second in assists per game. The sophomore has factored into five different game-winning goals this season with two goals and three assists.

Following a home-and-home sweep of UMass Lowell, No. 1 Boston College is 8-1-1 in its last 10 games and 13-3-1 overall. The Eagles will find out their next opponent on Tuesday when Hockey East announces its weekly schedule.
