Moose tracks
THREE STARS
By KIRK PENTON, QMI Agency




Last night at MTS Centre

1. Manitoba RW Guillaume Desbiens---Scored his 11th and 12th goals of the season.

2. San Antonio C Kyle Turris -- His short-handed tally in the second was a thing of beauty. His shootout goal was, as the kids say, sick.

3. Manitoba RW Dan Sexton -- The fastest-moving player on the ice, creating turnovers and forcing penalties.

THE SKINNY

Marco Rosa, Sexton and Michael Grabner all scored in the shootout to give the Moose their second win in 10 games. Manitoba improved to 7-1 in the shootout in front of a sold-out lower bowl crowd of 8,800.

THE CONFUSION

It looked like Jannik Hansen had scored after taking a turnover and rifling it past Rampage goalie Justin Pogge in the first. The goal light went on, but play continued. About 30 seconds later, Moose forward Nikita Kashirsky scored on a breakaway. Replays showed Hansen's shot went off both posts but never crossed the line.

THE SCHEDULE

The Moose will host the Toronto Marlies next Friday and Saturday at MTS Centre.

  Yes, with a new rink
  No, market too small
  No, not a priority
