Scott Kosmachuk had the eventual winner near the midway point of the second period as the Manitoba Moose beat the Grand Rapids Griffins 3-1 on Tuesday in American Hockey League play.
Francis Beauvillier assisted on Kosmachuk's goal and put the puck into an empty net for some insurance for Manitoba (26-36-9), the AHL affiliate of the Winnipeg Jets. Danick Gauthier opened scoring in the first and Eric Comrie made 35 saves for the win.
Matt Lorito had a short-handed goal for Grand Rapids (43-22-5) and Jared Coreau stopped 24-of-26 shots.
The Moose went 2 for 3 on the power play and the Griffins could not score on their four man advantages.
