Providence upset No. 3 seeded Cornell in a stellar 4-0 shutout performance to win the East Regional and advance to the Frozen Four in the 2019 NCAA tournament for the fifth time in program history. This marks the first time the Friars will return to the semifinals since winning the national championship back in 2015.
Penguins’ prospect, and junior forward, Kasper Bjorkqvist has put together a couple solid performances. He netted the game-tying goal (after Providence was down three) in the Friars’ incredible 6-3 comeback win against the top-seed in the East, Minnesota State.
