- Providence gained some momentum in the second period, outshooting the Minutemen by a 10-7 margin and ringing two posts during power play opportunities.
- At the 2:17 mark of the third period, Duran finally broke the ice as he finished off a rebound off the end boards for his seventh goal of the year. Max Crozier and Cody Monds earned the assists on the play.
- Stauber came up with multiple key saves in the third period to keep the Friars ahead into the final minutes.
- The Minutemen knotted the game at 1-1 on a Bobby Trivigno goal with 3:51 to play.
- Duran responded just nine seconds later after Monds won a race to a loose puck, circled behind the UMass net and centered to Duran on the doorstep.
- The Friar defense clamped down in the final minutes to preserve the win. It was Providence's first win at the Mullins Center since Feb. 24, 2017.
