Manitoba Moose has no defense for hard-charging wingers Michael Mersch and Justin Auger
The visiting Manitoba Moose, sporting a league-worst -45 goal differential, had its work cut out tonight against the Pacific Division-leading Ontario Reign. But would returning Southern California natives and Jets prospects Chase De Leo and Eric Comrie author a storybook ending?
It was a Hollywood opening for De Leo and Comrie. About seven minutes in, De Leo forced Kevin Raine to cough the puck up behind the Ontario net; the La Mirada native nudged it to an unmarked Nic Petan off to the side, and Petan scooped a backhand through Peter Budaj.
