Freshman Cole Eiserman knocks it out of midair and slides it under Fowler's pad to put the Terriers up by two goals late in the third period. BU is just six minutes away from its 32nd Beanpot championship in program history.

Boston University came out HOT in the second period, outshooting BC 21-16 in the second frame. The Terriers dominated the early part of the period, scoring back-to-back goals in just 1:11 to take the lead.

But the Eagles wouldn't go down easy, coming back with plenty of chances of their own in the late minutes of the period. Both goaltenders made some key stops in an action-packed second period, including several breakaway chances for each side. Boston College will have 1:10 left on a powerplay when the third period starts as the Eagles try to tie this one up at the Garden.

Both goalies are putting on a show in this one, each stopping over 25 shots so far. Jacob Fowler came up big with this breakaway save on Kamil Bednarik.

It was all Boston College for most of the first period, with the Eagles outshooting Boston University 16-9. Ryan Leonard and Gabe Perreault showed why they are one of the most dominant duos in college hockey this season, combining for the game's first tally about seven minutes in:

The Eagles had a few more chances shortly after the Perreault goal, but Yegorov stood tall in net for BU. The Terriers evened out the action in the later minutes of the period, getting some solid scoring chances of their own, but Jacob Fowler stopped all of the Terriers' shots, keeping BC out in front 1-0 after 20 minutes.

The puck has dropped, and the 2025 Beanpot championship is underway between No. 1 Boston College and No. 9 Boston University. 

The 2025 Beanpot features a matchup between two great goaltenders. Jacob Fowler has been a brick wall for Boston College this season, leading Hockey East in wins, shutouts and save percentage. In the other crease is Mikhail Yegorov, who joined Boston U. in the second semester, and has had a solid start to his collegiate career. Here's a look at some of their numbers this season:

Jacob Fowler, Boston College

• 19 wins (2nd in NCAA)
• 6 shutouts (2nd in NCAA)
• .936 sv% (5th in NCAA)

Mikhail Yegorov, Boston University

In his first four collegiate games:

• 2-2-0
• 1.51 GAA
• .940 sv%

Harvard held Northeastern to just seven shots in the third period to thwart the Huskies' comeback effort. Northeastern threatened to score in the final minute on the powerplay with an extra attacker, but Charette and the Crimson stood tall to hold on and win the 2025 Beanpot consolation game 4-3.

Harvard finishes the game with four powerplay goals, two of which came from Mason Langenbrunner. Northeastern outshot Harvard 26-19, but Ben Charette made 23 saves enroute to his first Beanpot win.

The Huskies get a huge break as they kill off the major penalty. They are now headed to their own powerplay with a chance to tie the game late in the third period.
