Moose Blanked by Marlies
January 17, 2025 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Manitoba Moose News Release
The Manitoba Moose (11-20-1-1) fell 3-0 to the Toronto Marlies (19-10-2-3) on Friday. The Moose were coming off a 1-0 win against the Grand Rapids Griffins the weekend prior.
Matthew Barbolini opened the scoring for the Marlies 5:33 into the first frame. Jacob Quillan added a shorthanded tally six minutes later to establish a 2-0 lead for Toronto. Kaapo Kähkönen made 13 saves on 15 shots in the Manitoba net, and Matt Murray made four saves to hold the Moose off the scoresheet.
Neither team found the back of the net through the middle frame, with the Moose outshooting the Marlies 10-8 during the period. Kähkönen made eight saves to keep his crease clear, and Murray made 10 stops in the Toronto net.
The Moose opened the third period with two great chances, but Murray continued to hold back the home-side. As time ticked down to the final minutes of the game, Manitoba called Kähkönen to the bench for an extra attacker. The gambit didn't pay off as Ryan Tverberg hit the empty net, securing a 3-0 win for the Marlies. The Moose were held goalless by Murray, who wrapped up with 23 saves. Kaapo Kähkönen made 27 saves on 29 shots in net for Manitoba.
Quotable
Moose forward Jaret Anderson-Dolan (Click for full interview)
"We had a great road trip and we didn't carry that into the first period, for whatever reason. I thought we had a good response in the second and third, and generated a ton of chances. We need to keep that feeling we had on the road going."
