Following a disappointing 5-4 loss on Saturday the Moose had a Sunday afternoon re-match with Iowa. The roster was bolstered by the return to Manitoba of Jack Roslovic, Brendan Lemieux and Michael Hutchinson from the Jets who began their five-day break today. According to Moose bench boss Pascal Vincent in his pre-game chat with Mitch Peacock, with the status of Jets goalie Steve Mason uncertain the Moose didn’t take any chances and scratched Hutchinson from the lineup.
