No. 9 Providence Grabs Late Winner to Split Weekend Series
January 13, 2024 | Men's Hockey
PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Chase Yoder converted a rebound near the left post with 4:30 left in regulation and No. 9 Providence held on for a 4-3 Hockey East victory over No. 1 Boston College on Saturday night at Schneider Arena.
The Friars earned a split in the weekend home-and-home series, improving to 11-6-2 (5-4-2 HEA). The Eagles dropped to 14-4-1 overall and 7-3-1 in Hockey East.
Sophomore Oskar Jellvik and rookies Will Smith and Gabe Perreault scored for Boston College, which lost for just the second time in its last 10 games.
BC took the lead midway through the first period when Andre Gasseau threaded a pass through the right circle to Jellvik, who deked to his forehand and lifted a shot into the roof of the net glove side. Cutter Gauthier collected the secondary assist on the play, extending his career-high point streak to nine games.
Providence answered late in the second period as Yoder tipped a left wing shot-pass from Hudson Malinoski past Jacob Fowler (32 saves) from the edge of the crease.
20 seconds later, Smith broke into the PC zone along the left wing off a Perreault feed and roofed the puck short side high on Philip Svedeback, restoring the Eagles' lead.
Jamie Engelbert snuck a shot glove side through a partial screen from the high slot just 1:27 into the third to knot the score once again.
Perreault pushed the Eagles back in front at 6:26 on the power play as he took a pass on the weak side from Smith in the left circle and beat a sprawling Svedeback. Ryan Leonard collected an assist on the play as the three rookie linemates posted a combined six points.
Providence knotted the score at 3-3 when Bennett Schimek finished a centering pass from Graham Gamache near the midway point of the third. Yoder's rebound off Fowler's right pad at 15:30 gave the Friars their first lead of the night.
BC pulled Fowler for an extra skater with 1:44 remaining, but couldn't find an equalizer. Both teams finished the night 1-for-4 on the power play.
Boston College faces Merrimack in a home-and-home league series next weekend, starting on Friday night at Lawler Arena in North Andover at 7 p.m.
