WINNIPEG, Manitoba --- Cody Almond scored twice for the Houston Aeros but the Manitoba Moose rallied for four unanswered goals in a 5-3 win Friday night at the MTS Centre.

The Moose pulled ahead in third on Joel Perrault's power play goal at 8:50 and added an empty-net insurance goal by Kevin Connauton with 23 seconds left in regulation.
