Moose Season Discussion

Watched most of the game today.

Moose continued to be really undisciplined and terrible on special teams. That comes down to poor coaching imo.

They elected to play a kid line of Lambert, Wagner and Zhilkin today and it was a fun line to watch.

That would be about the most direct I've seen Brad play all year. He was challenging players one on one with his speed and taking the puck to the net/slot. I didn't see his goal but he had a number of other quality looks from dangerous places. He was solid in his end as well. That was the type of game he needs to play to make the team next year.

Zhilkin has found his confidence. Not only is he tenacious on the puck but he's now starting show some offense. He walked a couple dmen and set Brad up for a slot chance on one and then cut hard to the net and was absolutely stoned on another. I'm real happy with his play lately.

Wagner also had some grade looks but couldn't get them to go. He was sound off the puck and showed some good patience with it.

Salomonsson with another solid all around outing and could have walked away with a goal as well.

Especially in the opening period I thought Brad Lambert was really moving well and showing plenty of chemistry with his teammates leading to a number of solid chances.

Much like they did in the opening frame they came out the right way in the final one getting plenty of chances beginning with this one from Elias Salomonsson which he fired wide. That was followed up by this slick play by Danny Zhilkin which he followed up with this power move.





Game recap is here.

After the game we spoke with Jets prospect Danny Zhilkin, C.J. Suess (playing in his 300th game in antlers) and Moose assistant coach Eric Dubois.
