If the Manitoba Moose want any chance of making the post-season, now is the time to go on a run. Lurking near the bottom of the AHL standings, the Moose have a points percentage of .473 compared to the .563 of the eighth place Milwaukee Admirals.

The Moose are one game shy of the halfway point of their AHL season, so it’s not impossible, and judging by the way they’ve played their last four games, it may be best not to write them off just yet.

Since the last Farm Report, when the team had just beaten the Texas Stars 3-2 in shootout, the Moose returned home and earned five of a possible six points in three games. Jansen Harkins scored in all three games, and added two assists in the streak. Seth Griffith also had points in all three, as did Cameron Schilling

They beat the Laval Rocket 4-0 on Thursday, with Eric Comrie stopping all 35 shots he faced, and four different skaters getting goals for Manitoba. Jimmy Oligny also pulled a Jimmy Oligny and got himself tossed for being the third man in on a fight when he attempted to come to the aid of the much smaller Skyler McKenzie.

The Moose hosted Laval again on Saturday, falling 6-5 in shootout. This game saw a number of leads and lead changes, and it was once again offence by committee for the Moose with five goals by five players. Unfortunately, the offence dried up in the shootout, as the Moose failed to score and Laval did not.

Manitoba also saw Tucker Poolman return to the lineup for the first time since November 23, after suffering a concussion.

Manitoba hosted Milwaukee last night, with yet again no Moose player scoring more than one goal. Comrie rebounded after a bit of a shaky outing on Saturday to save 34 of 36, as the Moose prevailed in shootout after a lovely effort by Seth Griffith iced it.
