NOTES
- An even first period saw the teams each total 12 shots on goal and come up empty on one power play opportunity.
- Providence nearly took an early lead as second-chance attempts by Bryan Lemos and Ryan Tait wouldn't go with Swayman caught out of position.
- Bryan Lemos got the Friars on the board with his third goal in just 10 games this season after cutting across the slot and wiring a shot into the top right corner. Tait and Matt Koopman were credited with the assists.
- Providence held a 14-3 advantage in shots and a 23-8 edge in attempts in the middle stanza.
- Hawkey began the third period key stops on Eduards Tralmaks and Chase Pearson in the opening minutes of the third to keep the Friar lead at 1-0.
- Greg Printz was whistled for interference with under five minutes to play, but the strong Providence penalty kill held serve.
- The Black Bears continued their third period push, outshooting the Friars by a 13-4 margin but Hawkey stood tall in the final moments as Maine pulled Swayman for the extra attacker.
- Providence extended its winning streak against Maine to 15 games and also extended their unbeaten streak to 19 games against the Black Bears (18-0-1).
- With the win, Providence moved up to fourth place in the Hockey East standings with 20 points.
