The Moose defeated the IceHogs on Friday night although a big part of that was netminder Kaapo Kahkonen who stopped 30 of 31 shots in regulation to backstop his team to a 2-1 shootout win over Rockford.

Lineup news:

They did a shuffle between lines two and three (Suess & AJF) while they did a swap of the entire 4th line (Wagner, Zhilkin, Torgersson) for today’s 4th line. Only other changes was Thomas Milic getting the net.

Shaw – JAD – Ford

I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
