In a 2-1 overtime win over Northeastern on Jan. 27, Providence College accomplished a feat few teams have been able to match this season.
They held Adam Gaudette, Dylan Sikura and Nolan Stevens to zero points.
If the Friars can match that or come close -- and it’s a tall order, for sure -- I like their chances of winning Friday night’s semifinal Hockey East Tournament game against the Huskies at the TD Garden and advancing to face either Boston College or Boston University in Saturday’s championship game.
“If we did it once, I think we can do it twice,″ said Friar junior defenseman Vinny Desharnais, who will log heavy minutes against Northeastern’s high-powered trio.
