Manitoba Moose News Release


The Manitoba Moose (26-9-3-2) met up with the Texas Stars (21-15-4-2) at Bell MTS Place on Friday night. The scoring started 7:09 into the game off the stick of Roope Hintz who banged in a Brent Regner rebound. Texas added to the lead 1:30 later when Curtis McKenzie called his own number on a two-on-one and fired a wrister up top. The two tallies stood up as the only goals of the period with Texas carrying the 2-0 lead to the break.

The Moose picked up some momentum in the second frame, but Landon Bow made nine saves to hold Manitoba off the board. The penalty kill came up big for the home side, shutting down a 41-second long five-on-three power play for the Stars. The visitors padded their lead with 18.2 seconds left in the period as Hintz tucked away his second of the night to leave the score at 3-0 Texas after 40 minutes. The final frame saw Texas tack on one more to its total with Curtis McKenzie finishing off a power play marker 3:30 into the period. Bow turned away 10 more shots the rest of the way as the Stars closed out a 4-0 victory over the Moose.

Quick Hits - Tonight's loss was the first shutout suffered by the Moose this season. Brendan Lemieux led the team with a personal season-high of seven shots. Attendance was announced at 3,983.

Quotable - Head Coach, Pascal Vincent - "I don't know if it was Texas or ourselves. We're a pretty good team at driving the net and finding rebounds and creating scoring chances because we use our speed and we can elude defensive zone coverage by moving quick. I don't think we moved quick enough too often. We had some good looks in the offensive zone, but no traffic in front of the goalie. I felt that our speed wasn't there enough to create that. That part of the game wasn't good enough for us."
