Noteworthy:

Full marks to Iowa goalie Dereck Baribeau who made 29 saves and stymied Manitoba for most of the game.

It was a trio of Jets prospects who contributed to the only Moose goal with 2020 1st rounder Cole Perfetti scoring off a past from 2018 2nd rounder David Gustafsson which play was begun by 2017 3rd rounder Johnny Kovacevic. (See here)

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. 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.
