BOSTON -- One of the most legendary tournaments in hockey is set to write a new chapter on Monday night, as the Boston University Terriers take on the Harvard Crimson in the first of two semifinals in the annual Beanpot.

The Terriers scored five times in the middle period at TD Garden on its way to securing a spot in next Monday's Beanpot championship game.

Just like the women's team, Northeastern men's hockey has won two straight Beanpot titles heading into 2025. Another championship would give both programs a three-peat. Northeastern has also won five of the last six Beanpot tournaments with Boston University defeating the Huskies in 2022.

Fans looking to watch this college hockey rivalry game can do so on NESN for free by using FuboTV ($30 off first month) or DirecTV Stream, which both offer a free trial. SlingTV doesn’t offer a free trial but has promotional offers available for streaming the game.

Monday night is the start of the 72nd Beanpot Tournament in Boston, when BC will take on Northeastern and NU will play Harvard at TD Garden. Northeastern has won two straight and five of the last six.

The Boston College Golden Eagles Men's Hockey squad advanced to the Beanpot championship for the first time in years.

BC has the longest drought of the four teams competing in this internationally acclaimed but uniquely provincial Boston hockey festival.
