MIRAGEAS' FIRST GOAL LIFTS PROVIDENCE TO VICTORY

Ben Mirageas' first NCAA goal was a big one, netting the game-winner in a 2-1 to propel Providence College over Boston College in a 2-1 victory on Friday.
Mirageas' first goal came a week after his first collegiate point - an assist in Providence's 6-5 OT win over St. Lawrence. The goal doubled his points total on the season for the Isles 2017 third-round pick (77th overall), giving him two in seven games.
Mirageas was held pointless in Saturday's 3-0 win over fellow Islanders 2017 draft pick Logan Cockerill (7th round, 201st overall), but the two 2017 picks will face off again on Friday as Providence takes on Boston University at Agganis Arena.

The Beaconsfield, Quebec native assisted on Maxime Fortier's goal to make it 3-0 against Cape Breton on Saturday, and lit the lamp himself for the game-winning goal against Charlottetown on Sunday.
Durandeau has 14 points (5G, 9A) in 15 games this season, good enough for third-most on the Mooseheads. Overall, the 2017 sixth-round draft pick (165th overall) has tallied points in 11 of 15 games during the 2017-2018 QMJHL season.
