Kristian Vesalainen makes Manitoba Moose debut in win over San Antonio

The Manitoba Moose scored three times in the final period to knock off the San Antonio Rampage 4-1 on Friday at Bell MTS Place.

After being sent down by the Winnipeg Jets earlier in the day forward Kristian Vesalainen had one assist as the Moose continued a four-game homestand.

JC Lipon scored a pair of goals in the win including an empty netter. C.J. Suess and Jansen Harkins had the other markers for Manitoba.

“It was a good game, but in no means was it perfect,” head coach Pascal Vincent said.
