NOTES
- The Friars raced out to a 2-0 lead on the strength of two power-play goals 1:21 apart in the first period.
- The lead was cut in half just 1:27 later as Max Kaufman buried a shorthanded goal on an odd-man rush.
- Max Crozier gave the Friars insurance at 16:29 of the second period on what proved to be the game-winning goal. It was Crozier's third game-winning strike of the season.
- The Catamounts made a push in the third period, outshooting the Friars by a 24-10 margin.
- Andrew Lucas brought Vermont back within one with 7:12 remaining in the third on the power play.
- Lackey stood tall again in the final minutes, stopping 23-of-24 shots he faced in the third period.
- Dugan added to his NCAA-leading point total (49) with a pair of assists. He became the first Friar to record 40 assists in a season since Mike Boback in 1991-92.
- Dugan and Thompson became the first Friar duo to register 40-plus points in a season since 2002-03 (Jon DiSalvatore, Peter Fregoe, Devin Rask).
- It was Dugan's 16th multi-point performance this season, while Thompson and Callahan recorded their 14th and 8th multi-point performances, respectively.
- Nine of Providence's 15 game-winning goals have been scored by freshmen.
- Providence snapped a four-game winless streak with the win on Saturday night.
