Manitoba Moose News Release
The Manitoba Moose (3-3-1) and San Diego Gulls (2-2-1) met for the first time ever Friday night at the MTS Centre. It was a feeling out process in the opening frame with both teams' defence keeping the shot totals down. The visitors got the scoring going when Stefan Noesen snuck a shot through traffic and to the back of the Moose goal at the 7:08 mark. The Moose found an equalizer just moments after their first powerplay of the night. Brendan Lemieux opened up Quinton Howden down low and Manitoba's leading goal scorer quickly wrapped the puck inside the post with 6:46 left in the period. The 1-1 score held until the first intermission.
Both teams made sure the goalies got more work in the second frame. The Moose fired 11 shots at Kevin Boyd and the Gulls replied with 10 of their own at Eric Comrie. Only one of those 21 attempts found twine. With San Diego on the powerplay, Corey Tropp tipped a Jeff Schultz point shot to the back of the net, restoring the Gulls' lead at 2-1 through forty minutes.
The Moose found their tying goal on the powerplay with 6:24 remaining in the third period. Chase De Leo battled the puck over the line in the midst of a scramble for his first of the year and a 2-2 tie. Despite a late push and another man advantage, the Moose couldn't take the lead before the end of regulation. In the overtime frame, Eric Comrie came up with a stop in the early going with some help from Quinton Howden who kept the puck from trickling behind the goaltender. That set the stage for De Leo and Scott Kosmachuk. The pair tossed the puck back and forth on a two-on-one before Kosmachuk finished the play to propel the Moose to a 3-2 victory.
Quick Hits
- Quinton Howden entered the game with a .333 shot percentage and scored on his only shot on goal.
- Chase De Leo and Scott Kosmachuk both posted their first multi-point games of the season with each tallying a goal and an assist.
- Game attendance was announced at 4,713.
Quotable
Pascal Vincent - "We played a good game. Without the puck, we were good positionally. We were hard on the stick and we were hard on the puck. We were doing the right things. And we finally got rewarded offensively."
Chase De Leo - "We had a good week of practice here. [We're] sticking to our system defensively, finding that guy and picking him up. And I thought we did a really good job on both ends of the ice."
