Player of the Week/Transactions/Players to Watch

Player of the Week

Marty Murray




Marty Murray had a very good week for the Moose registering a point in each of the 4 games played. With 1 goal and 3 assists Murray showed why Scott Arniel put him on the top line with Sergei Shirokov and Matt Pettinger.


Transactions

oct.17 - Vancouver Canucks recall Alexandre Bolduc

After a 5-3 loss to the Calgary Flames the Vancouver Canucks could see they were lacking more than the missing scoring of Daniel Sedin. They were lacking speed and energy. Bolduc provides both of those in spades, as well as a compete level that never seems to drop. Although he will not put the puck in the net consistently he will create space for linemates Kyle Wellwood and Steve Bernier which is equaly important as Wellwood has been off to a slow start offensively.

Players to Watch

Cory Schneider


Schneider is coming off a great week in which he went 2-1 and single handedly won a game against the Hamilton Bulldogs. After a shaky training camp in Vancouver many wondered whether or not another season in Manitoba would hamper his development. If his start so far is any indication he is doing just fine. Look for him to continue his strong play as the Moose visit Chicago and Milwaukee.


Matt Pettinger

Since his return to the Moose this past week Pettinger has been playing on the top line with Marty Murray and Sergei Shirokov. Pettinger is also being used on the Power Play and has put up 3 points (2 goals, 1 assist) in 3 games. Look for his production to continue as he is being given ample opportunity to try and work his way back to the NHL.
