Moose Comeback Cut Short
March 14, 2025 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Manitoba Moose News Release
The Manitoba Moose (20-32-1-3) opened their road swing with a 4-3 loss to the Chicago Wolves (30-23-3-0) at Allstate Arena. The Moose were coming off a 3-2 defeat at the hands of the Calgary Wranglers on Sunday.
The Moose got out to a hot start when Ashton Sautner knocked in his second of the season, finishing a scramble in front of the Chicago net 3:34 into the contest. It was 2-0 Moose less than a minute later as Fabian Wagner continued his torrid scoring pace by capitalizing on a setup from C.J. Suess on an odd-man rush. Chicago climbed back into the game when Ryan Suzuki tucked away his own rebound at the 8:36 mark. Defenceman Ronan Seeley then tied the contest with under two minutes remaining in the period. Domenic DiVincentiis started the game by stopping 14 of 16 shots against while Spencer Martin made seven saves in the period.
The Wolves continued their run with a shorthanded tally five minutes into the second. Domenick Fensore stole the puck and raced down the ice before wiring a shot past DiVincentiis to give Chicago its first lead at 3-2. Shortly after the goal, Chicago made a goaltending change with Dustin Tokarski taking over between the pipes. The Wolves got another tally with six minutes left in the frame as Austin Wagner broke away and buried his third goal in as many games for a 4-2 Chicago lead after 40 minutes.
The Moose opened the third period by killing off a penalty, and immediately went on the attack. Brad Lambert sent Wagner into the offensive zone and the Swedish forward snapped home his second of the game to get the Moose within a 4-3 count. Manitoba had a pair of power plays the rest of the way, but couldn't capitalize as Chicago held on for the win. DiVincentiis closed the game with 27 saves, while Martin and Tokarski combined for 15 stops in the Chicago win.
