Game Story The Manitoba Moose (2-2-0-0) and Cleveland Monsters (1-2-0-0) clashed for the second time this weekend on Sunday afternoon. Manitoba got on the board first for the third straight game. Immediately following a penalty kill, Buddy Robinson stole the puck before chipping it ahead to Jansen Harkins. Playing his first game of the season, Harkins took advantage of the opportunity, scoring on the breakaway 4:01 into the period. The teams traded chances the rest of the frame, but Eric Comrie and Matiss Kivlenieks kept the score to 1-0 after 20 minutes. Comrie got Bell MTS Place buzzing early in the period with a stunning post-to-post save to keep Cleveland off the board. The Monsters didn't find a way past the Moose netminder until the midway point of the period when John Mitchell snuck a shot to the back of the net off the rush. The Moose power play helped push the hosts back in front with less than five minutes remaining in the period. Kyle Connor started the play with a cross-ice feed to Jack Roslovic, before getting the puck back on a slick pass from Chase De Leo and tapping it into a mostly open net. The Moose carried the 2-1 edge into the third. The power play continued to groove early in the period. Brendan Lemieux posted up in front of the net and cleaned up the rebound after a Michael Spacek shot to give the Moose a 3-1 advantage. Manitoba didn't let Cleveland close the gap, thanks in part to 14 third period saves by Comrie. With time winding down, Lemieux was awarded an empty net goal to put the game away by a 4-1 score. Quick Hits
Jansen Harkins scored on his first shot of the season.
Sami Niku is on a three game point streak with four assists over that stretch.
Brendan Lemieux notched the first multi-goal game of his AHL career.
Attendance was announced at 7,455. Quotable Head Coach Pascal Vincent - "We were more in control of our defensive game. Not giving too much, especially in the first two periods, even when the game was tied I felt we were in control of where the puck was going." Forward Brendan Lemieux - "This year, being healthy has been great. The longer I'm around [hockey], the more I realize it's about the little details, the way you take care of yourself off the ice that really allows you to stay healthy, so I've put a greater focus on that and seeing the fruits of it now."
