(Source: Perry Nelson-Imagn Images)A game-winning goal in a power play in the final minute of the game gave the Manitoba Moose a 2-1 victory over the Milwaukee Admirals in the First Round Series of the Central Division in the 2026 Calder Cup Playoffs to ensure a finale Game Three.
In a game where there were a total of nine power plays, only the Moose took advantage and came away with the game-winner courtesy of forward David Gustafsson.
After a relatively competitive first period where the shot differential was 11-9 favoring Manitoba, the Moose absolutely stonewalled the Admirals in the final two periods, outshooting Milwaukee 24-11.
Milwaukee had four opportunities on the power play and could only put up five of their 21 shots on goal in those four man-advantage situations. However, they were unable to find the back of the net.
The one time Milwaukee scored was in a shorthanded situation when AHL All-Star defenseman Ryan Ufko caught a lucky break when the puck found him as he was leaving the penalty box (at the end of a 5v3 PK situation) and scored on a breakaway opportunity.
Manitoba goalie Domenic DinVincentiis made 19 saves off 21 shots for the win, putting up a save percentage of 0.905.
Milwaukee goalie Matthew Murray made 33 saves off 35 shots to put up a save percentage of 0.943.
