Eagles Fall at No. 13 Notre Dame in South Bend
January 19, 2022 | Men's Hockey
SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Boston College fell to 13th-ranked Notre Dame 8-2 on Wednesday night at the Compton Family Ice Arena. The Eagles dropped to 10-9-3 (5-6-2 HEA) while the Fighting Irish improved to 17-7-0 (9-5-0 B1G).
Ryder Rolston netted a hat trick for Notre Dame in the victory, while Matthew Galajda made 40 saves in the Irish net. Senior Marc McLaughlin and sophomore Trevor Kuntar scored for Boston College.
McLaughlin gave the Eagles a 1-0 lead just 17 seconds into the contest, snapping a shot over Galajda's blocker from the high slot for his league-high 17th of the year. BC couldn't extend the lead despite generating quality chances on two power plays in the first and a post hit by Patrick Giles.
Notre Dame knotted the game on a Grant Silianoff tip at 12:02 and the game was tied 1-1 through 20 minutes. Matt Argentina was retroactively handed a five-minute major and game misconduct for a hit near the end of the first period, putting the Eagles shorthanded to begin the second.
The Irish took advantage of the major power play 54 seconds into the middle frame when Spencer Stastney netted his fifth of the year on a back door play. Even strength goals from Rolston and Trevor Janicke extended the lead to 4-1 before Nikita Nesterenko was given five and a game at 14:55.
Down to just 10 forwards, the Eagles fell behind 6-1 following power play tallies from Jesse Lansdell and Rolston.
Kuntar finished a feed from Casey Carreau early in the third period to make it 6-2, but Notre Dame sealed the win with a pair of insurance goals.
Boston College closed the night with a 42-33 advantage in shots on goal.
BC faces No. 18 Providence in a home-and-home series this weekend, beginning on Friday night at 7 p.m. on the Heights.
