NOTES
- Providence opened the scoring on Cade Christenson's second goal of the season at the 13:29 mark of the first period. The junior threaded a shot from the point that deflected in off a Merrimack defender. Beau Jelsma and Aleksi Kivioja earned the assists on the play.

- The Warriors answered late in the first period as Alex Mercier finished a rebound from Ty Daneault at 18:56.

- John Mustard re-gained the lead for the Friars just 40 seconds into the second period, finishing off a feed from Will Elger from point-blank range. Christenson earned his second point of the night with an assist.

- Merrimack tied the game again at 2-2 on a goal from Caden Cranston at 12:34.

- The game remained deadlocked late in the third period until the Friars took the lead for good with 4:03 to play. Ryder Cali won a faceoff back to Andrew Centrella and he dished to Sawyer, who maneuvered to the top of the slot and beat Feldbergs for his fifth goal of the season and fourth in the last two games.

- Julius Sumpf added insurance for Providence with 1:12 left with a power-play goal, his first tally of the season to extend the lead to 4-2. Elger and Quinn Mantei assisted on the play.

- The Friars improve to 4-1 in Hockey East play and currently sit in second place in the league standings. Providence boasts a league-best +14 goal margin through five Hockey East contests.
