If tonight’s game is anything like last night’s battle, fans are in for a treat. The Moose collected their third straight win at home, and third overall, by a score of 5-4. Goalie Mikhail Berdin has won all three of his AHL starts and has a .941 save percentage and a 1.92 GAA goals-against average.
Seth Griffith dominated the scoresheet fifth four points (1G, 3A) and rookie defenceman Luke Green scored his first AHL goal on his first AHL multi-point night. Chicago’s Daniel Carr (1G, 1A), Brandon Pirri (2A), and Curtis McKenzie (2A) all recorded two-point nights as well in the high-scoring match.
Moose Head Coach Pascal Vincent was asked after the game what positives the team took from such a wild night.
“I thought we responded well after the first period. The guys played a good game… We have a very young lineup. And for us to respond the way we did, and to win the game, find a way to win the game, it tells you a lot about our team.”
A big reason for the success of the Moose at home has been the line of Griffith, Mason Appleton and C.J. Suess. In the last three games at Bell MTS Place, they have combined for
18 points (9G, 9A). Griffith was asked after Friday’s game what he likes about his linemates.
“I just think they’re smart players. C.J., you know what he’s going to bring every night. He’s just a smart player that comes to work every night. Mason has obviously got a good shot, sees the ice well, and he skates well. It’s a good combination with us three.”
