NOTES
- Maine broke through at 11:39 of the first period on the power play on Chase Pearson's 15th goal of the season.
- The Friars cashed in on the power play for the first time in four games on Brandon Duhaime's seventh goal of the season that knotted the game up at 1-1. Jason O'Neill and Spenser Young earned the assists on the play.
- Providence held an 11-9 shot advantage in the second period, but it was the Black Bears who notched the lone goal as Brendan Robbins capitalized on a turnover and scored shorthanded on a breakaway with under a minute to go in the period to put Maine up 2-1.
- Bryan Lemos nearly tied things up in the opening minutes of the third period as a puck found him wide open with an open net but the puck wouldn't settle for him before the Swayman and the Maine defense recovered.
- Mitchell Fossier sealed the game with an empty net goal with just 55.5 seconds remaining.
- Providence's 15-game winning streak and 19-game unbeaten streak against the Black Bears was snapped. It was Maine's first win over the Friars since October of 2011.
