No. 17 Eagles Shut Out Maine in Hockey East Quarterfinals The No. 17/16 Boston College men’s hockey team secured a decisive 5-0 victory over Maine in the Hockey East Quarterfinals on Friday, March 13, 2026, at Kelley Rink. The Eagles’ dominance was highlighted by a flawless performance from goaltender Louka Cloutier, who made 18 saves to record his fourth shutout of the season. James Hagens led the scoring effort with three points, including two goals and an assist, extending his career-best point streak to 13 games. The game began with Boston College taking control early, as Teddy Stiga and James Hagens each scored within the first six minutes. Stiga’s goal came after he capitalized on a loose puck dumped into the defensive zone by Luka Radivojevic, which bounced off the boards and allowed Stiga to fire it past the Maine netminder. Just 39 seconds later, Hagens doubled the lead with his 22nd goal of the season. His initial shot was blocked, but the rebound fell directly to him for a top-corner finish. Boston College continued to pressure Maine in the second period, with Oskar Jellvik scoring his second goal of the season late in the third period. The goal followed a turnover in Maine’s defensive zone, where Ryan Conmy’s forecheck led to a pass to Jellvik for a one-timer. The Eagles sealed the win with two empty-net goals from Dean Letourneau and Hagens, ensuring a 5-0 final score. Cloutier’s performance was critical in maintaining the shutout, particularly in the second period, where he made nine key saves. The Eagles’ offensive success was bolstered by strong individual contributions, including 15th assists from Lukas Gustafsson and Luka Radivojevic, and Dean Letourneau’s 20th goal of the season.#boston_college #maine #hockey_east_quarterfinals #louka_cloutier #james_hagens
