Winnipeg managed to equalize at 2-2 during a power play when Mark Scheifele netted a goal off a pass from Josh Morrissey, but the Mammoth quickly regained control with Guenther’s late-game heroics.

Head Coach André Tourigny remarked on the team’s mentality, stating, “We feel our team is different in the sense of, yes, we have the excitement, but instead of excitement and hope, we have excitement and confidence.” This confidence is palpable as the Mammoth gear up for their next challenge.
