Key Takeaways
- Manitoba leads Toronto 2 to 1 in the second period at Canada Life Centre.
- Toronto opened the scoring on a Chadwick goal at 5:48 of the first period, and Manitoba answered with two goals in the second period.
- The Moose entered the night 9-4-0-0 and a perfect 5-0-0-0 at home, after beating the Marlies 2 to 1 in overtime on Friday night.
- The names of the two Manitoba goal scorers in the second period were not shown on the live scoreboard checked before publishing.
How the Lead Changed Hands
Toronto struck first. Chadwick beat the Manitoba goalie at 5:48 of the first period, and the Marlies carried a 1 to 0 lead into the first intermission. The shots after 20 minutes read Toronto 7, Manitoba 9, so the Moose were getting looks, just not goals.
The second period flipped the game. Manitoba scored twice in the middle frame to move ahead 2 to 1, turning a one goal deficit into a one goal lead in front of the home crowd. The live scoreboard checked before publishing did not name either Manitoba scorer, so this post does not guess at them. What is certain is the scoreboard itself: first period 0 to 1, second period 2 to 0 so far, and the Moose in front.
What This Means for the Moose at Home
The Moose have made Canada Life Centre a hard building to visit this season. They are 5-0-0-0 on home ice, and Friday night showed why: Walker Duehr scored both Manitoba goals, including the overtime winner 29 seconds into the extra period, and Domenic DiVincentiis made 23 saves in the 2 to 1 win over these same Marlies.
Toronto came into the night at 7-4-2-0, and this is the second half of a two game set in Winnipeg. The Marlies had the better of the early going on Saturday, but the second period belonged to Manitoba, and the Moose now get to protect a lead with the home crowd behind them.
What Comes Next
The third period will decide whether the Moose stretch their perfect home record to 6-0-0-0 or the Marlies force another extra session, as they did on Friday. If Manitoba holds on, the story of the weekend is simple: the Moose own this building, and Toronto could not solve them twice in two nights.
Score is a snapshot as of the live check just before publishing and was not rechecked at the exact publish moment, so later second period or third period scores are not reflected here.
