Key Takeaways
- Texas 2, Manitoba 1 after two periods in Cedar Park
- First period scoreless at 0 to 0
- Danny Zhilkin scored Manitoba’s goal in the second period
- Texas scored twice in the middle frame to take the lead
- Moose entered tonight on a four game winning streak and tied for top spot in the AHL
Second Period Turns After Scoreless First
The first period produced no goals, with both teams feeling each other out in the second game of this two game series at H-E-B Center. The middle frame changed the game. Texas found the net twice to take control, while Danny Zhilkin answered once for Manitoba to keep the Moose within one goal heading into the intermission.
The Texas goal scorers were not named on the live scoreboard at the time of writing, so this report does not name them. What is confirmed is the shape of the game: a quiet opening 20 minutes, then a second period owned by Texas on the scoreboard.
What It Means for the Moose
Manitoba came into tonight at 11-4-0-0, riding four straight wins and tied for the top spot in the entire AHL. Tuesday night the Moose beat these same Stars 3 to 2 in a shootout, with Zhilkin and Brad Lambert scoring in the shootout and Domenic DiVincentiis stopping both Texas shooters. Tonight Texas has flipped the script so far, and the Moose need a response in the third period to keep the streak alive.
Third Period Next
The third period is next in Cedar Park. Manitoba needs at least one goal to force overtime, and two to win it in regulation. The Moose have made a habit of late comebacks this season, and the third period will show whether that habit holds on the road.
