CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - Top-ranked Boston College received goals from five different players in the second period as the Eagles coasted past Canadian university Simon Fraser 5-1 on Saturday night in exhibition action at Kelley Rink.

Sophomore linemates Oskar Jellvik and Andre Gasseau each had a goal and an assist in the win, while junior Connor Joyce collected a pair of assists. Junior Mike Posma along with graduate students Jamie Armstrong and Jacob Bengtsson also lit the lamp.

Freshman Jan Korec earned the win in net by stopping 11 of the 12 shots he faced, while classmate Alex Musielak made seven saves in the final 10 minutes of regulation. Both goaltenders were playing their first minutes in a BC sweater.

The Eagles heavily out-shot the Red Leafs 46-19 and went 31-14 in the faceoff circle.

Trailing 1-0 after the opening frame despite an 11-3 shot advantage, BC exploded for five goals in the middle frame starting with Jellvik burying a one-timer from the slot off a pass from Gasseau.

Posma finished a right wing centering pass from Gentry Shamburger midway through the period, and Will Vote set up Armstrong at the top of the crease at 13:21.

Bengtsson made it a 4-1 lead on a breakaway by slipping a backhand through the five-hole of Kolby Matthews at 17:25. Gasseau then ripped a shot high glove side 37 seconds later off a pass from captain Eamon Powell.

The Eagles return to regular season play next weekend with a home-and-home series against No. 9 Providence, beginning on Friday night at Kelley Rink.
