No. 4 Denver rallied to a 2-2 tie with No. 18 Boston College after the Eagles erased a two-goal deficit with late goals in the second and third periods. Boston College won the shootout 1-0, but the game counts as a tie in NCAA records. Blake Fiddler scored his first career goal for Denver, and Clarke Caswell had two assists.

By the Numbers
  • Denver outscored Boston College 2-1 through the first 58:33 before the Eagles tied it with 46 seconds left.
  • Tyler Krivtsov made 23 saves on 25 shots; Louka Cloutier stopped 21 of 23.
  • Denver went 0-for-5 on the power play and killed both penalties, including a five-minute major.
  • Denver is 3-2-1; Boston College is 1-3-1.
Yes, But

Denver showed improved five-on-five defense and a strong penalty kill, but couldn’t close out a two-goal lead. The Eagles have now overcome two-goal deficits in both games of the weekend series.

State of Play
  • The shootout decided the postgame skills competition, not the official result: the teams recorded their first tie in series history.
  • Caswell has six assists during a four-game point streak; Fiddler scored his first collegiate goal and point.
  • Denver closes its six-game homestand next weekend by opening NCHC play against Omaha.
What's Next

Denver hosts Omaha on Friday at 7 p.m. MT and Saturday at 6 p.m. MT. Both games stream on NCHC.tv; Saturday’s game will also air regionally on Altitude 2.

Bottom Line

Denver’s defensive progress was encouraging, but surrendering another late lead underscores the next challenge: turning promising stretches into complete games as conference play begins.
