NOTES
- Neither team connected on offense through the first 40 minutes, giving the Friars and Sun Devils a 20-20 deadlock in shots on goal. Providence's efforts were highlighted by a Logan Will breakaway chance midway through the first period and a Logan Sawyer breakaway chance that was thwarted in the second.
- Providence broke open the scoring at the 5:54 mark in the third period, as Hudson Malinoski put away a Nick Poisson rebound for his second tally of the year. Tanner Adams also had an assist on the play.
- With just over four minutes to play, Hudson Malinoski recovered the puck on the wall in the offensive zone before finding Taige Harding open on the blue line, who found a lane, connecting for his first score of the 2024-25 season.
- With just over 30 seconds remaining in the third period, Arizona State found the scoresheet on a Ryan Kirwan goal, capitalizing on the extra attacker opportunity and bringing about the final 2-1 score.
- Zachary Borgiel finished the night stopping 31-of-32 shots, good for a .969 save percentage and his first win as a starter with Providence.
- Four Friars landed a point in the win, led by a one-goal, one-assist performance from Hudson Malinoski.
- Sixteen different Friars landed a shot on net in the win, headlined by four-shot performances from Hudson Malinoski, Chase Yoder, Tanner Adams, and John Mustard.
- Providence improves to 4-1-0 all-time against the Sun Devils.
