On paper this was a battle of the top team in the AHL in winning percentage (Wolves) against the fifth best squad (Moose) but Manitoba came into this game significantly undermanned not having seven of their regular forwards in the lineup either due to recall up to the Jets, injury or being in covid protocol.
Moose lineup:
Lynch – Meireles – Egle
Polei – Alfaro – Burgess
Jones – Maier – Nogier
Pelton-Byce – Boland – Caron
Oligny-Kovacevic
Chisholm – Gawanke
Stewart – Lundmark
Cormier
Desorsiers
Noteworthy:
This has to be goal of the year material by Bobby Lynch.
Do yourself a favour and check our this goal by Bobby Lynch (his second of the period).
He steals it in neutral zone and then goes inside and outside to score.
That’s a highlight reel goal. pic.twitter.com/N0jbkum0iA
