NOTES
- A good pace to begin the game as both teams generated some quality offensive chances in the opening minutes of the contest.
- The Friars scored the period's lone goal as Craig Needham finished off Max Crozier's rebound off a faceoff win to put Providence up 1-0. It was Needham's fifth goal of the season and third against the Wildcats in four games.
- UNH responded early in the second period to tie the game at 1-1 on Conor Lovett's goal at the 3:09 mark.
- Providence controlled play throughout the third period and into overtime. The Friars attempted 75 shots with 31 being blocked.
- Just 1:41 into the overtime period, Patrick Moynihan gained the UNH blue line and fired a shot towards the net that Engelbert re-directed for his fifth goal of the season.
- Engelbert tallied his first game-winning goal of the season and the fifth overall in his career.
- Needham has three goals and one assist in four games against New Hampshire this season.
- Philip Svedebäck stopped 22-of-23 shots faced for his 13th win of the year.
