NOTES
- After an early Eagles surge, the Friars took control as Riley Duran's one-timer off a feed from Jamie Engelbert beat Eric Dop inside the far post to put Providence up 1-0.
- The Friar power play went to work and cashed in as Nick Poisson's one-timer gave the Friars a 2-0 lead. It was Poisson's sixth of the season with assists to Crozier and Moynihan.
- Poisson found Kohen Olischefski at the top of the BC crease as the grad transfer finished off the feed at 4:38 of the second period for his seventh strike of the year.
- The Friars added two more goals before the end of the period - Jamie Engelbert on a re-direct for his sixth of the season and Parker Ford added his 12th tally of the year to make it 5-0 after 40 minutes. Newcomer Taige Harding earned his first collegiate point with an assist on the Ford goal.
- Poisson added his second of the evening at 7:15 before Max Crozier capped the scoring with a power-play goal at 18:12 of the final period.
- Stauber recorded the first road shutout by a Friar netminder at Boston College since Boyd Ballard on Jan. 22, 1999. Three of his four shutouts have been against Hockey East opponents this season.
