Game Story

The Manitoba Moose (11-13-2-0) dropped the opener of a back-to-back set, 7-2, against the Toronto Marlies (11-10-3-2) Friday night. The Marlies put pressure on Eric Comrie and the Moose early, outshooting Manitoba 10-2 in the first ten minutes. Toronto opened the scoring on a power play with 7:44 to go in the frame. Rasmus Sandin's point shot bounced off a stick in front, the post, then Comrie's back and across the line to make the lead 1-0. Just over five minutes later, the Marlies' Trevor Moore put Toronto up 2-0, this time scoring on a two-man advantage. The period ended with Manitoba trailing in shots, 19-7.

Toronto pushed the lead to 3-0 just 48 seconds into the middle frame on Adam Brooks' fourth of the season. The Moose responded 2:32 later with Michael Spacek taking his time to snap one home from the slot on the power play. At the 11:49 mark, Josh Jooris renewed the three-goal Marlies lead on a two-on-one. Manitoba came back quickly again, scoring another power play goal 1:40 later on a Sami Niku slapper. Time ran out in the second with Toronto leading 4-2.

Jeremy Bracco pushed Toronto back up to a three-goal edge with a slick toe-drag goal just over five minutes into the third.  The score stayed at 5-2 until the Marlies scored goals 27 seconds apart on a segment of four-on-four play late in the contest.  Moore and Bracco did the damage, bringing the final tally to 7-2 in Toronto's favour.

Quick Hits

  • Michael Spacek has seven points (1G, 6A) on a four-game point streak.
  • Sami Niku registered two points (1G, 1A) in his first game with the Moose since Nov. 10, after being reassigned from the Winnipeg Jets earlier on Friday.
  • Marko Dano has points in three straight games with three assists.

Quotable

Head Coach Pascal Vincent - "The goals against were misreads.  Bad pinches, not coming back on the defensive side, misreads defensively.  I felt we didn't connect defensively either.  So there was a lot to learn about our team today."
