Century Mark

The Winnipeg Jets’ 2014 fifth round pick has 46 points (25G, 21A) in his 100 AHL outings.
Good for a Couple
Cole Maier tallied his second and third goals of the season in last night’s Moose win. It was the second time in his AHL career Maier notched a pair of goals in a single game. The last occurrence was on Nov. 17/19 against the San Antonio Rampage. Last night’s game was the third time in Maier’s career he has posted multiple points in a contest. The Pequannock, N.J. native is tied for second on the Moose with three goals in six games.
All Good Things…
Yesterday’s matchup saw Nathan Todd’s point streak come to an end. The forward posted points in nine consecutive games, recording 11 points (4G, 7A) along the way. The run is currently the longest streak in the AHL this season and fell just three games shy of matching the Moose franchise record of 12 games (Aaron Gagnon and Sergei Shirokov). Todd’s seven-game assist streak is also the longest in the AHL this season. The Ottawa, Ont. product leads the Moose and is tied for fifth in the league in points.
Well Traveled

The victories were followed by four losses to the Rocket and Toronto Marlies. Last night’s win gives Manitoba the opportunity to come off the trip with a 4-4-0-0 record from the swing.
