Notable:

Tyrel Bauer fights just hit differently as the Moose defenceman drops the gloves with Admirals Andreas Englund. Messing with number 2 is not advisable.

Jets prospect Colby Barlow goes backhand roof to tie the game for the Moose. That’s his third goal of the season with assists to his fellow prospects Brad Lambert and Nikita Chibrikov.

Less than a minute later the visitors had a 2-1 lead as the captain Mason Shaw took advantage of a miscue and he buried the opportunity.

It looked like prospect Nikita Chibrikov might have been lost just before the end of the 1st period after he blocked a shot but he would return in the middle frame.

A suboptimal 2nd period for the Moose in Milwaukee as a 2-1 lead after 20 became a 4-2 deficit after 40. It continued to go poorly for the visitors as the home team increased their lead courtesy of three goals in the 3rd to take a significant lead.

Jets prospect Brad Lambert picked up his third of the season for the Moose which meant he finished the game with 1G 1A

Multi-point game:
