- Minutes after the Catamounts had a goal waived off due to goaltender interference midway through the second, McCoy scored the Friars second shorthanded goal of the season at 17:40 to make it 3-0.
- Goals from John Mustard and Levens in the opening 6:25 of the third stretched the PC lead to 5-0 before Colin Kessler's shorthanded goal broke Parsons' shutout bid at 7:43.
- Kivioja's second of the night on a tap-in at the right post off a feed from Gamache capped the scoring at 18:55.
- Providence now rides a 17-game unbeaten streak against Vermont (12-0-5).
