Erik Reitz had a goal and an assist and Mattias Weinhandl added a single for the Aeros (24-35-3-6), who won both meetings with the North Division-leading Moose (39-19-7-4) this season. Manitoba failed to expand its eight-point lead on Rochester and Hamilton in the race for the division lead.

Julien Ellis made 16 saves as the Moose fell for just the third time in the past 20 games.
