By Jake Seiner/DFP Staff

The leaves have fallen, the air is cooling and students are busy prepping for final exams.

In Boston, that can mean only one thing –- college hockey’s most hyped rivalry has returned. The No. 2/3 Boston University men’s hockey team will play host to No. 8 Boston College Friday night before journeying to Newton for a showdown at Conte Forum. Both games will start at 7:30.

The 251st and 252nd editions of the Battle of Comm. Ave. pits a pair of national top 10s in a showdown for more than just bragging rights.

The Terriers (7-1-5, 5-1-4 Hockey East) and Eagles (9-5-0, 7-4-0) head into the contest tied atop Hockey East with 14 points each, though BU has played one less conference game.
