NOTES
- The Friars killed off a pair of early power-play chances for the Tommies to keep the game scoreless through opening half of the period.

- Providence outshot St. Thomas by a 14-7 margin in the second period.
- Mustard got the Friars on the board just 3:40 into the third period with his third goal of the season. Will Elger's centering feed found Mustard in the slot as he finished off the one-timer. Roger McQueen also earned an assist on the play.
- The Friars got even with 7:14 left in regulation on Aleksi Kivioja's first strike of the season. Quinn Mantei earned his first NCAA point with a backdoor feed to Kivioja after taking a drop pass from Beau Jelsma.
- Providence had multiple quality looks in the final minutes or regulation and overtime but UST's Aaron Trotter kept the Friars at bay.
- The Tommies won the non-conference shootout, 2-0.
