Boston University’s embattled ice hockey program got back to the ice Saturday night at Agganis Arena and the Terriers got back to the business of playing winning hockey with a 4-2 victory over Providence College in the Hockey East opener for both teams.

After the program was rebuked by a scathing university internal review of the team’s wayward “hockey culture,’’ the Terriers seemed to put the program in more of a positive light after rallying from a 2-1 deficit with a pair of goals in the final 4:02 of the second period. The win to kick off their 91st season seemed to be the first step in repairing their tattered image.
