Boston College men's hockey has broken into the victory column for 2025-26. One week after dropping their season opener to visiting Quinnipiac, the 11th-ranked Eagles won on Thursday at No. 12 Minnesota, 3-1.
Will Vote staked BC to a 1-0 lead, and after Minnesota's Brody Lamb tied it in later in the first period, the Eagles got the game-winner from Will Moore in the second stanza and an empty-net insurance tally from Drew Fortescue late in the final frame.
BC freshman goaltender Louka Cloutier made 18 stops in his first career NCAA start for the win, while Nathan Airey had 31 stops for the Golden Gophers (1-2-0 overall), who were outshot, 34-19, by the Eagles (1-1-0). It was BC's first triumph over Minnesota since a 6-1 win in a national semifinal in Tampa in 2012, the last time the Eagles won the NCAA title.
The two schools will complete their two-game series on Friday at 3M Arena at Mariucci in Minneapolis.
