Junior forward Ales Dolinar’s goal at 15:19 of the third period broke a 2-2 tie and lifted Boston College to a 3-2 win over Denver University before a crowd of 4,712 at the Pioneers’ season opener at Magness Arena.<\/p>\n
Special teams proved key for the Eagles, as BC (3-0-0) finished the game one-for-three on the power play while successfully killing all of Denver’s (0-1-0) six power-play opportunities. On the season, BC opponents are now 1-for-26 with the man advantage.<\/p>\n
Denver got on the board first when J. J. Hartmann slipped a goal past BC goaltender Tim Kelleher just 1:03 into the game. BC was outshot 11-3 in the first period.<\/p>\n
The Pioneers would hold the lead until the 13:57 mark of the second stanza, when senior forward Marty Hughes scored a power-play goal to tie the score at one. Freshman Ben Eaves and senior Mike Lephart assisted on the goal.<\/p>\n
BC took its first lead of the game 4:33 into the final period when sophomore forward Krys Kolanos scored on a feed from senior captain Brian Gionta to give the Eagles the 2-1 lead. Hughes also assisted on the play.<\/p>\n
DU answered with a Jordan Bianchin goal at the 12:39 mark of the third period to tie the score at 2-2, setting up Dolinar’s winner two-plus minutes later.<\/p>\n
Seeing his first action of the season, sophomore goaltender Tim Kelleher made 24 saves to earn the win. DU sophomore Wade Dubielewicz finished with 22 saves.<\/p>\n
The two teams will meet again on Saturday. Game time is 7 p.m. Central at Magness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
