BC and Vermont just finished the regular season with back to back games against each other. Now the playoffs are starting.

The Hockey East playoffs work like this:

Quarter-finals - Best of 3 series, the higher seed gets home ice in every game in their campus arena.
(1) UMass Lowell River Hawks vs. Maine Black Bears(8)
(2) Boston College Eagles vs Vermont Catamounts (7)
(3) Boston University Terriers vs Merrimack College Warriors (6)
(4) Providence College Friars vs New Hampshire Wildcats (5)
The 4 winning teams will be re-seeded and advance to the Hockey East Championship Tournament, which is a sudden death tourney.

The winner of the Tournament will earn an automatic spot in the NCAA tournament
