Ma-LOTT of Assists

Feelin’ Fine at Fifty

Forward Alex Limoges notched two goals on Friday for his fourth multi-goal outing of the campaign. The tallies raised Limoges’ total to 50 points (19G, 31A) in 55 games this season. It’s the first time reaching the milestone for the Winchester, Vir. native. Limoges is the first Moose player to reach 50 points in a season since Seth Griffith (57) and Logan Shaw (51) both cleared the mark during the 2018-19 season. Limoges’ second goal on Friday was his seventh power play goal of the campaign, tying him with Leon Gawanke for second on the team.

20/20

Jansen Harkins’ breakaway goal in the second period of Friday’s contest was the forward’s 20th of the campaign. With the goal, the North Vancouver, B.C. product is the first player on Manitoba to record both 20 goals and 20 assists on the season. Harkins is now tied with Jeff Malott for the team-lead. It’s the first season the Moose have had multiple 20-goal scorers since the 2017-18 campaign when Buddy Robinson (25), Mason Appleton (22) and Patrice Cormier (22) each passed the sign-post.

Who's Trending?
