Key Takeaways
- Texas leads Manitoba 2 to 1 in the second period at H-E-B Center in Cedar Park.
- The first period ended scoreless. All three goals so far have come in the middle frame.
- The Moose won the series opener 3 to 2 in a shootout on Tuesday night and are chasing a fifth straight win.
- Manitoba entered tonight 11-4-0-0, tied for the top spot in the entire AHL.
Second Period Turns After Scoreless First
The first period solved nothing. Neither side scored through 20 minutes, and the Moose went to the first intermission tied 0 to 0 with the Stars, just as they had for long stretches of Tuesday night before the shootout.
The second period changed the game. Texas scored twice in the middle frame and Manitoba answered once, leaving the Stars in front 2 to 1 with the period still in progress at the last live check. The live scoreboard checked before publishing did not name the goal scorers or the time remaining in the period, so this report states the score only and will be updated when the official scorers are confirmed.
The swing matters because of how the Moose have won lately. Three of their last four wins have gone past regulation, including Tuesday night in this same building. Falling behind in the second period of the rematch puts that streak on the line, and it hands Texas the kind of lead the Stars could not protect 24 hours earlier.
Moose Chasing Fifth Straight Win
Manitoba arrived in Texas on Sunday to open a five game road trip, and the trip has gone their way so far. The Moose beat the Toronto Marlies 4 to 3 in overtime on home ice on Saturday, then opened the Texas series with a 3 to 2 shootout win on Tuesday night.
Danny Zhilkin and Isaak Phillips scored for Manitoba in regulation on Tuesday, and Zhilkin and Brad Lambert scored in the shootout. Domenic DiVincentiis stopped 38 shots in the game and both Texas shooters he faced. It was the fourth straight win for the Moose and their third straight game ending beyond regulation.
Texas, meanwhile, entered tonight 3-8-1-2 and last in the Central Division, but the Stars have made Manitoba work for every point in this series. Texas erased a 2 to 0 Manitoba lead on Tuesday before falling in the shootout, and tonight the Stars have flipped the script by taking the lead in the second period.
What Comes Next
The third period will decide whether the Moose stretch their winning streak to five or head home from Texas with the run over. Manitoba has found ways to win late all week, with overtime and shootout victories doing the job when regulation could not.
The Moose close out their two game series with Texas tonight at H-E-B Center, with coverage on CJOB.com, the Winnipeg Jets App and AHLTV on FloHockey. Manitoba returns home on Friday, November 20, to face the Rockford IceHogs.
