To close out the second period, Jake Leschyshyn had an opportunity on the breakaway to give the Wolves the advantage however Berdin poked the puck away to keep the game tied.
With 8:09 gone in the third period, the Moose found themselves with a five-on-three advantage for a full two minutes. Kristian Vesalainen took advantage and scored the eventual game-winning goal on the power play. Skyler McKenzie added an empty net goal to cap off Manitoba's 3-1 victory.
