Last Time Out vs. Boston College
- The No. 10/11 Providence College men's ice hockey team fell to No. 3 Boston College 3-2 in overtime on Tuesday, November 19 at Schneider Arena.
- Boston College opened the scoring just 54 seconds into the first period, as Gabe Perrault got behind the defense before pocketing the puck through Svedebäck's five-hole, putting the Eagles ahead 1-0.
- Providence found the equalizer 27 seconds into the second period when Clint Levens put away an Austen May rebound in the slot for his second of the year. Taige Harding set up the play on a bank pass around the half-wall, earning the secondary assist.
- The Friars jumped out to their first lead of the night just over two and a half minutes later, as Ryan O'Reilly forced a turnover before driving to the net, beating Korec low glove-side to make it 2-1.
- The Eagles tied it up with just over four minutes to play in the third period, as Gabe Perrault found Ryan Leonard for a tap-in goal, capitalizing on the extra attacker opportunity on a delayed penalty and knotting the game at 2-2.
