Moose Run Streak to Five in Win over Chicago

Manitoba Moose News Release
The Manitoba Moose (8-6-2-0) earned their fifth straight victory on Thursday night, taking a 2-1 win off the Chicago Wolves (7-5-3-0) at Canada Life Centre. Manitoba was coming off a 5-2 win over the Rockford IceHogs at BMO Center on Nov. 15.
Manitoba got off to a quick start in the first. Isaak Phillips buried his second goal of the season, sneaking a point shot past Wolves netminder Cayden Primeau, with helpers going to Nikita Chibrikov and Parker Ford, their first points in antlers this season. The Moose had a handful of opportunities to extend the lead, but it was the visitors who scored the game's second goal. Evan Vierling was in the right spot at the side of the net and tapped a loose puck into an open cage. Thomas Milic stopped the other four shots directed toward the Manitoba goal, while Primeau made 10 saves in the frame.
Danny Zhilkin restored Manitoba's one-goal lead 4:34 into the middle stanza. He lifted a backhand shot over a sprawling Primeau, scoring his fifth goal of the campaign. Neither team could add another marker to their side of the scoresheet, as Milic and Primeau both made 11 stops. Defenceman Dylan Anhorn led the way among all skaters with four shots through 40 minutes.
Chicago put the Moose on the back foot in the third with 13 shots on goal. Manitoba killed off the frame's only penalty, and Milic stood tall, stopping all 13 shots and securing a 2-1 win for the Moose.
