Bill Arnold scored twice and the Eagles added an unassisted power play goal in the third period as No. 1 Boston College rolled past UMass, 4-2, last night at Conte Forum.

Boston College (4-1-0, 2-0-0 Hockey East) got on the scoreboard just 78 seconds into the game when Arnold connected with his third goal of the season. Andrew Tegeler pulled the Minutemen even just more than seven minutes later, but Chris Kreider’s power-play goal gave the Eagles the edge at the first intermission.

The Eagles outshot UMass, 14-2, in the second period, but were held to only one goal when Arnold scored his second of the game. Jeff Teglia had 31 saves for UMass, 13 coming in the second period.

Johnny Gaudreau’s unassisted power-play goal midway through the third period put Boston College up, 4-1, but Michael Marcou registered his first goal of the season to put the Minutemen within two.

BC goaltender Parker Milner had 18 saves and improved to 4-1-0.

BC outshot UMass, 35-20, and went 2 for 6 on the power play. UMass, which fell to 1-2-1, was 0 for 7 on the power play.

Minnesota 6, Vermont 0 - Nick Bjugstad scored twice to lift the host Golden Gophers to a nonconference victory over the Catamounts in Vermont’s season opener. Minnesota is unbeaten at 5-0-0 (2-0-0 WCHA) while Vermont fell to 0-1-0.
