Winnipeg was able to get on the board six minutes later when Carson Lambos's point shot found its way through on the power play to make it 3-1 after two.

Matthew Savoie scored back-to-back goals 2:06 apart, the second one coming on the power play.
Nolan Orzeck tied up the game with 6:57 remaining and then Connor McClennon scored the game winner with 45 seconds left to give the ICE the win.
Carl Tetachuk made 42 saves in the loss for Moose Jaw, while Winnipeg's Gage Alexander stopped 23 of 27 shots in the win.
