Key Takeaways
- Manitoba Moose 1, Toronto Marlies 1 after two periods at Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg.
- The Moose led 1 to 0 after the first period, and Toronto scored the only goal of the second period to tie the game.
- Toronto is the defending Calder Cup champion, and this is the first meeting of the season between the clubs.
- The two teams meet again Saturday night at Canada Life Centre.
Moose Lead Slips Away in Second Period
The Moose took a 1 to 0 lead into the first intermission and held it through the opening 20 minutes. Toronto answered in the middle frame with the only goal of the second period, and the game went to the second intermission tied 1 to 1. The live scoreboard showed the game paused between periods, with Manitoba up 1 to 0 in the first and Toronto up 1 to 0 in the second.
The goal scorers were not named on the live scoreboard checked for this update, so this report sticks to the verified score and period split rather than guessing at names.
A First Meeting With the Champions
Toronto arrived in Winnipeg as the defending Calder Cup champion, and this is the first game of the season between the clubs against a non Central Division opponent for Manitoba. The Marlies entered the night with a penalty kill ranked 29th in the AHL, while Manitoba sat 15th, a gap the Moose will want to use in the third period.
The Jets are off tonight after their 6 to 2 win over Vancouver on Thursday, so the Moose carry the Winnipeg hockey spotlight on their own at Canada Life Centre.
What Comes Next in the Third Period
Twenty minutes decide this one. The Moose need a goal to avoid dropping the opener of the weekend set, and the Marlies need one to complete the comeback after erasing the early deficit. The rematch is set for Saturday night at the same rink, so tonight also sets the tone for the weekend.
