Game Story
The Manitoba Moose (17-19-0-0) lost a 1-0 decision against the Colorado Eagles (18-10-2-1) on Friday night at Bell MTS Place.
The Moose tested Colorado's goaltender Adam Werner in registering 11 shots on net in the first period compared to the Eagles three. Midway through the frame, Jacob MacDonald saw the best opportunity to find the back of the net for the Eagles however Eric Comrie denied the defenceman to keep the game scoreless.
During the second period, Manitoba successfully killed off all three of Colorado's power play opportunities to keep the score blanked. Midway through the second, Kristian Reichel had a breakaway opportunity to find the equalizer for Manitoba but was unable to get the puck past Werner. With less than four minutes remaining in the frame, Shane Bowers found Colin Campbell who netted the one timer to give Colorado the 1-0 lead.
With six minutes gone in the third, the Moose saw their best chance of the period as JC Lipon found Leon Gawanke wide open in the slot for a one-timer however he was unable to capitalize. Werner stopped all 30 of the shots he faced to lead the Eagles to the 1-0 victory.
