GALLERY: Moose Outscore Opponents 11-3 in Season-Opening Weekend

The Manitoba Moose couldn't have asked for much more from their opening weekend.

Playing host to the Chicago Wolves for back-to-back afternoon contests at Canada Life Centre, the Moose picked up a pair of victories while outscoring their visitors 11-3 to begin the 2026-27 season with a perfect 2-0-0 record.

Manitoba opened its campaign with a 3-0 victory on Saturday, led by a 36-save shutout from Domenic DiVincentiis. Noah Gregor scored the first goal of the season in his Moose debut, while Colby Barlow and Kevin He added third-period markers to put the game away.

It was also an historic afternoon for He, who became the first China-born player to appear in an American Hockey League game. The Winnipeg Jets prospect picked up an assist on Barlow's goal for his first professional point before scoring his first AHL goal into the empty net.

Sunday brought considerably more offence.

The Moose jumped out to an early 3-0 lead before Chicago answered with three straight goals to even things up before the first intermission. Manitoba responded with five unanswered goals over the final 40 minutes, cruising to an 8-3 victory and completing the weekend sweep.

The Jets' final cut this fall, Brayden Yager, scored twice and added an assist, while Gregor had a goal and two helpers. Alfons Freij and Davis Burnside each scored their first career AHL goals, while Thomas Milic made 25 saves in his first start of the season.

Manitoba will now hit the road for the first time this season, beginning a two-game set against the Grand Rapids Griffins on Friday.
