It was Lipon's second recall this season and Morrissey's first. Morrissey had played in all 56 Moose games prior to tonight. The only two remaining players who have played in every Moose game this season are forwards Chase De Leo and Scott Kosmachuk.
- Goaltender Connor Hellebuyck made 26 saves to pick up his second shutout of the season. He has a 4-3-0 record since returning from the Winnipeg Jets. In those seven games he has a 1.73 goals against average and a .946 save percentage. He was named to the Team North America under-24 team for the World Cup of Hockey 2016 this past Wednesday.
- Austen Brassard extended his point streak to three games with his 13th goal of the season and added an assist later in the game. Brassard has three goals and three assists for six points in his last three games. His shooting percentage is now 23.2%.

- Ryan Olsen scored his sixth goal of the season and now has two goals in his last three games.
- The Moose continued their excellent work on the penalty kill going a perfect six-for-six in the game. In their last 11 games they have killed off 46 of their last 50 penalties, good for 92.0%.
