Denver dominated Providence hockey, winning 5-1 in the 2025 NCAA Hockey Tournament during the Manchester Regional at SNHU Arena in Manchester, N.H.

The Pioneers started the game hot, scoring within the first five minutes, giving them a 1-0 lead at the end of the first period.

Later in the second period, the defending champions scored two goals, including one from Hobey Baker's top-ten finalist, Zeev Buium, to give them a 2-0 lead.

Providence finally scored its first goal with eight minutes remaining in the game. However, the Pioneers would score two more goals, which essentially sealed the deal.

Denver now shifts its focus to Boston College, the No. 1 overall seed in the tournament, for the game in the Manchester Regional finals.
