Texas makes its first and only visit to Canada this season for a pair of afternoon games in Manitoba. The Moose come in with the same record as Texas, ranked 3rd in the Central division. Their play so far has been extremely streaky. They are on a three-game winning streak with a string of road victories in Milwaukee, Chicago and Rockford. They lost 4 of 5 before that and won four in a row before that.
Many of the names on the Moose roster are recognizable still from the Calder Cup year as former IceCaps, including Brenden Kichton, JC Lipon and Patrice Cormier.
