PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The UConn men's hockey team took down no. 9 Providence on the road in a thrilling 6-5 win. Joey Muldowney and Jeremy Loranger both scored two for the Huskies. With his second goal of the night, captain Joey Muldowney secured his 100 career point.
In a penalty-filled first period, UConn and Providence battled but couldn't break through. The Huskies were called for three penalties and the Friars for two, but both penalty kills held strong and neither team scored on the power play. Sophomore Kam Hendrickson made 14 saves for UConn, while Providence's Gibson Homer stopped all five shots he faced, and the teams went to intermission tied 0-0.
The second period was night and day compared to the first, with the teams combining for eight goals. UConn opened the scoring while killing a penalty, when a poke check by Joey Muldowney created a breakaway. Providence drew a penalty trying to stop him, and Muldowney beat the goaltender on the ensuing penalty shot to make it 1-0. The Friars tied it 1-1 shortly after on a power play, beating Hendrickson. Later in the period, a Providence penalty gave UConn a power play, and Jeremy Loranger fired a one-timer past Homer to make it 2-1. Another Friars penalty set up a second UConn power play, and as it wound down, Muldowney collected a puck in front of the net and tipped it through traffic for a 3-1 lead. Providence didn't stay quiet for long, scoring the next two goals to tie the game 3-3. The teams then traded goals again, with Kaden Shahan scoring for UConn and Providence answering, and they went to the second intermission tied 4-4. With his second-period goal, Muldowney reached 100 career points.
The third period began with Providence jumping UConn and stealing the puck and beating Hendrickson to take the 5-4 lead. On the ensuing shift, the Huskies answered as Ethan Whitcomb collected the puck in front and beat the netminder tying the game at five. The two teams continued to battle, and midway through the period following a Providence penalty, Jeremy Loranger skated through the middle of the ice and after getting a lane, fired a shot to give UConn the 6-5 lead. With the lead, the Huskies defense shined preventing the Friars from finding the equalizer. With time running down, the Friars pulled their netminder in favor of an extra skater, but the Huskies defense shined keeping the Friars from finding the back of the net, and securing the 6-5 win.
UP NEXT: The two teams will finish off the two game series Saturday, Nov. 7 in Storrs. Puck drop is scheduled for 5pm and can be streamed live on ESPN+.
