Game Story

The Manitoba Moose (10-4-0-0) earned a second-straight overtime win on Saturday night, beating the Toronto Marlies (7-4-3-0) by a 4-3 score. Manitoba was coming off a 2-1 overtime win on Friday night.

The Moose outshot the Marlies 9-7 in the opening 20, but it was Toronto taking the early lead. Noah Chadwick whipped a shot on goal, which beat Thomas Milic at 5:48, giving the Marlies a 1-0 lead. The Marlies had a chance on the man-advantage in the period, but couldn’t capitalize, as they went to the locker room with a 1-0 edge.

Parker Ford levelled the game at 3:58 of the second. A loose puck found its way behind Samuel Hlavaj, where Parker Ford tapped it home for his fourth goal of the campaign. Manitoba’s penalty killers successfully defended a five-on-three opportunity midway through the frame, including a save-of-the-year candidate from a sprawling Thomas Milic. The penalty killers then set their sights on offence. Danny Zhilkin fed Chase Yoder, who was coming out of the box, for a breakaway. Yoder made no mistake, ripping his shot past Hlavaj to give the Moose a 2-1 lead. Milic made nine stops in the stanza, while Hlavaj made seven.

The Marlies got off to a hot start in the third. Marc Johnstone tied the game at 1:21, before Borya Valis put Toronto up 3-2 just 49 seconds later. Manitoba replied on the power play as Lukas Gustafsson potted his first goal as a pro at 7:00, setting up overtime. Toronto killed the 45 seconds remaining on their penalty to start the extra frame, as the sides continued to play four-on-four for the entire extra frame. Dawson Barteaux was hit along the end boards, but stood back up and won a puck battle with some help from Lucas Wahlin. Barteaux found Davis Burnside with a slick backhand pass, and the rookie fired a shot past Hlavaj to send the Moose home 4-3 winners.
