Game Story

The Manitoba Moose (38-22-5-2) faced the Rockford IceHogs (34-26-4-1) Sunday afternoon at Canada Life Centre. The Moose were coming off a 3-2 win against Rockford yesterday.

Rockford opened the scoring just prior to the halfway point of the first. Dylan McLaughlin drove in and snapped a hard shot past the blocker of Evan Cormier to give Rockford a 1-0 lead. The IceHogs added to their lead with just over five to play with a goal from Michal Teply. That pushed the lead to 2-0. The horn sounded to draw the opening frame to a close. Cormier finished the stanza with 11 saves, while Arvid Soderblom recorded nine of his own.

Neither team was able to generate much offence in the second period with the Moose outshooting the IceHogs 7-6. The closest anyone came to scoring was Declan Chisholm's point shot that ricocheted off a couple bodies and off the post. Rockford carried its 2-0 lead into the third period.

Manitoba pulled within one courtesy of a goal from Cole Maier in the third. The forward bobbed and weaved through a number of defenders before sending the puck back in front from below the goal line. The disc bounced into the net off Soderblom to get the Moose within one. The IceHogs fired back with a tally from Jakub Pour to restore the two-goal lead with under 10 to play in the third frame. Needing a goal, Manitoba pulled Cormier in favour of the extra attacker. The IceHogs took advantage and struck twice for a pair of empty netters to ice the contest 5-1. Cormier was hit with the loss on 20 saves, while Soderblom picked up the win and made 26 stops of his own.

Quotable

Moose Forward Nicholas Jones (Click for full interview)

"It was a disappointing effort. We were talking in the dressing about the first round of the playoffs being a back-to-back to start. To have that effort it's a mentality, and it was disappointing to come out that flat.”
