NOTES

- Guillaume Richard added another for Providence, 2-0, on the power play with help from Max Crozier and Kohen Olischefski. Richard wired a shot over the glove of Savory after a nice curl-and-drag maneuver at the top of the left faceoff circle.
- In the second period, Nick Poisson added to the Friars lead, 3-0, with a breakaway goal on a forced turnover off of the faceoff at 9:10.
- UMass Lowell got on the board with a power-play goal from Reid Stefanson, 3-1, after Poisson was sent to the box for holding with just 30 seconds remaining in period two.
- The River Hawks made it a one-goal game, 3-2, with a goal from Brehdan Engum at the 12:23 mark of the third period.
- Providence was forced to defend a full 2:00 of 6-on-4 to close out the game after Michael Citara was called off for holding at 2:02 and Lowell pulled their goalie for the extra-man. The Friars were able to hold off the River Hawks in the final stretch to secure a 3-2 win with crucial blocked shots from Chase Yoder and Kohen Olischefski.
- The Friars blocked a season-high 25 shots, led by Richard's four blocks.
- Providence improved to 15-0-0 when scoring at least three goals this season.
