The 2021-22 edition of the Boston College men’s hockey team knows how to seize an opportunity.<\/p>\n

The Eagles woke up Saturday knowing they did not control their destiny in the IceBreaker Tournament in Worcester, Mass. With predetermined matchups, the Eagles, who won in a shootout over Quinnipiac on Friday, would need those same Bobcats to keep Northeastern from winning in regulation in order to have a chance at taking the trophy.<\/p>\n

Quinnipiac did one better, shutting out Northeastern, 3-0, in Saturday opener leaving the door open for Boston College to take the championship with a win.<\/p>\n

The Eagles didn’t walk through the door, rather ran, scoring three goals on their first five shots en route to a 5-1 victory over Holy Cross to leave Worcester with the IceBreaker trophy.<\/p>\n

It is the first of two IceBreaker Tournaments this season, the second coming next weekend in Duluth, Minn., featuring a completely different field.<\/p>\n

Boston College senior captain Marc McLaughlin led the way scoring twice in the opening period. Goaltender Henry Wilder stopped 18 of the 19 shots he faced to earn the victory.<\/p>\n
