CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- Top-ranked Boston College plays its final regular season game a road contest Saturday at Merrimack. The Eagles wrapped up a Hockey East Regular Season Championship with a sweep of New Hampshire last weekend and will be the top-seed in the conference tournament beginning with a quarterfinal match-up at home on March 16.

BC's 12-game win streak in league play is the first of 10 or more in Hockey East since the Eagles won 12 in a row in 2012-13. BC players claimed three of four major monthly awards from Hockey East as Cutter Gauthier (Player of the Month), Ryan Leonard (Rookie) and Eamon Powell (Defenseman) earned the honors.
