Game Story

The Manitoba Moose (8-19-1-1) bounced back with a 3-2 win over the Calgary Wranglers (23-10-1-0) on Sunday. The Moose were coming off a 5-4 overtime loss against the Wranglers two days prior.

Parker Ford opened the scoring for Manitoba with a shorthanded goal four minutes into the first frame. Thomas Milic was able to hold the Wranglers scoreless through the first, making five saves in the Manitoba net. Devin Cooley made four stops on five shots in the Calgary crease.

Lucas Ciona tied things up at 1-1 for the Wranglers, two minutes into the middle frame. Kevin Conley re-established the Manitoba lead ten minutes later, sneaking one past Cooley to make things 2-1 for the Moose. Milic made eight stops in net for Manitoba, and Cooley made seven saves at the other end for the Wranglers.

Calgary's Sam Morton tied the game again, putting the score at 2-2 with five minutes left in the final frame. Not to be denied, Manitoba struck back with a late go-ahead tally. Brad Lambert's cross-ice pass found Nikita Chibrikov, who fired one past Cooley with 90 seconds left in the game, securing a 3-2 win for the Moose. Milic finished with 23 saves in the Manitoba win, and Cooley wrapped with 20 saves in the Calgary loss.
