Iowa Wild fall to the Manitoba Moose
After Alex Stalock made a good effort to bring his team a win, the Iowa Wild opted to start Steven Michalek, who ended up with 21 saves on 23 shots in the loss.
Chase De Leo scored the first goal 6:14 in to the first when he scored on a rebound of point blast by Scott Glennie straight off the faceoff. Michalek made the save on the Glennie shot but the rebound was left free in front of him where De Leo eventually got it from and scored.
Teemu Pulkkinen scored Iowa's only goal from a great feed by Mario Lucia. Pulkkinen had an easy job shooting to an empty net after the Lucia feed. You can admire it yourself from the gif or the highlights.
