Friday night saw ten New York Rangers prospects in action led by Gabe Perreault who was originally credited with three assists but a post-game review cut it back to two helpers. Perreault and his top-ranked Boston College Eagles made their post-Holiday break return a dominant one with a 7-1 defeat of ninth-ranked Providence College in Hockey East play.
Perreault had the primary assist on linemate Ryan Leonard’s 11th goal which was the Eagle’s fourth goal (the video may or may not work) and pretty much put the game away at 4-0.

In the third period, Perreault earned his second assist on the Eagles seventh goal, a secondary assist that made the final score 7-1. Perreault regained his status as Boston College’s leading scorer with a 0-2-2 three shot +3 night that improved his season totals to 5-22-27 which is also good for ninth best in the NCAAs.
Teammate Drew Fortescue had a very quiet night not registering any kind of stats. The same two teams will face off tomorrow night.
Brody Lamb had a goal as his 11th-ranked Minnesota Golden Gophers defeated Robert Morris 4-3 in non-conference play. Lamb scored Minnesota’s second goal of the game, a power play goal that came off a shot that hit the RM goalie, then hit off the cross bar and then off a RM defenseman before falling into the net.
It looks much better on the video than it was described.
A wee bit of luck for Lamber! ☘️ pic.twitter.com/eG6TeFRy7J
