Manitoba beat Chicago 8-3, and the margin came after the intermission: the Moose scored the last five goals of the night once the game had been leveled at 3-3. A first period that got away from them turned into a shutout over the final 40 minutes.
Manitoba led 3-0 inside 10 minutes, then conceded three straight — at 11, 15 and 20 — to finish the opening period tied 3-3. The response was immediate: a goal at 23 restored the lead, two more at 32 and 34 made it 6-3 after two, and late markers at 53 and 55 closed it out.
The numbers frame it cleanly: 5-0 Manitoba across the second and third periods, and 8-3 on the night. Chicago's three goals all arrived in a nine-minute window of the first; they did not score again.
