The Manitoba Moose (11-4-0-0) close out a two-game series with the Texas Stars (3-8-1-2) Wednesday night in Cedar Park, Texas.

Coverage of today’s matchup gets going at 7:45 p.m. CDT on 680 CJOB, CJOB.com, the Winnipeg Jets App and AHLTV on FloHockey. Puck drop at H-E-B Center is slated for 8 p.m. CST. 

Extra Time 

The Moose have won three consecutive games requiring extra time, with two coming in overtime, and their most recent win on Tuesday night coming in the shootout. They are up to four victories beyond regulation on the season, with two coming over the Stars. Manitoba has allowed just four shots in their four overtime periods, and have twice won on their first shot. Only three teams have reached overtime more frequently than the Moose. Seven teams have a perfect record in such games, but none have won four games beyond regulation.

Back in Action

Defenceman Garrett Brown made his AHL regular season debut in last night’s game. Brown previously made his first AHL and professional appearance in the 2026 Calder Cup Playoffs, playing in four games against the Grand Rapids Griffins. At the time, Brown was the first Moose player since Skyler McKenzie in 2018 to make their professional debut in the Calder Cup Playoffs. The San Jose, Calif. native posted one shot on goal and a minus-one rating in his first action of the season. Brown was selected in the fourth round of the 2022 NHL Draft by the Winnipeg Jets. Prior to turning pro, Brown had 26 points (4G, 22A) in 84 games and was a part of two NCAA Championship teams at the University of Denver.

Speed to Burn

Forward Brad Lambert got into his first action with the Moose this season on Nov. 6 against the Toronto Marlies. Lambert was held off the scoresheet that first game but has assists in each of his games since. The 30th overall selection in the 2022 NHL Draft has recorded at least two points in the first three games of his AHL season in four of his five campaigns. Lambert added a goal in the shootout last night, marking his sixth career shootout tally on 13 attempts, good for 46.2 percent. The Lahti, Finland product currently sits in a tie for 33rd on the Moose franchise scoring list with 108 points (36G, 72A) in 176 games. 

1A and 1A

The Moose have received terrific goaltending from both Domenic DiVincentiis and Thomas Milic, as the two have rotated game-by-game thus far in 2026-27. Neither netminder has allowed more than three goals in a game since Oct. 27, with only three such games occurring all campaign. DiVincentiis enters Wednesday with the league’s eighth-best goals-against average and fourth-best save percentage. Milic stands tied with the Utica Comets’ David Rittich for the most wins in the league with six. DiVincentiis is also tied for first in the AHL with two shutouts, deadlocked with Carl Lindbom and Mads Søgaard. 

Who’s Trending?

Forward Fabian Wagner picked up his first point of the season with an assist on Isaak Phillips’ first period goal last night. Wagner matched a career high with four shots on goal in the contest. It was the third time in his AHL career the forward recorded the mark. Wagner has 17 points (9G, 8A) in 86 career AHL outings. He was a fourth round pick of Winnipeg in 2022.
