Noteworthy:

Jets 2020 1st rounder Cole Perfetti scored his fourth goal of the season off a perfect feed from 2017 5th rounder Leon Gawanke.

Back to back games with a goal for Jets 2014 5th rounder CJ Suess as he scored to make it 3-0 for the Moose shortly after Perfetti’s goal.

While he didn’t finish off the opportunity Jets 2019 1st rounder Ville Heinola made an incredible series of moves but just couldn’t end it with a goal. Was silky smooth.

In the 3rd it was Jets 2018 2nd rounder David Gustafsson‘s turn as he finished off a set play on the Moose power play to make it 5-0 and then fired this wrister home to cap the game at 6-2.

The win improves Manitoba to 8-5-1 on the season.

Mutli point game:

Cole Perfetti – 1G, 2A
David Gustafsson – 2G
Austin Poganski – 1G, 1A
