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).
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
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.Â
Â
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.
Â
Down to just 10 forwards, the Eagles fell behind 6-1 following power play tallies from Jesse Lansdell and Rolston.
Â
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.
Â
Boston College closed the night with a 42-33 advantage in shots on goal.
Â
BC faces No. 18 Providence in a home-and-home series this weekend, beginning on Friday night at 7 p.m. on the Heights.
