The Winnipeg Ice defeated the Seattle Thunderbirds 5-2 in a Western Hockey League game Tuesday night at the accesso ShoWare Center.<\/p>\n

Seattle took a 1-0 lead on a power-play goal by Simon Kubicek at 12:34 of the first period. Henrik Rybinski passed the puck from the right wall to Kubicek at the right point. Kubicek skated the blue line and took a wrist shot that beat Winnipeg goalie Jesse Makaj on the blocker side. Payton Mount had the second assist.<\/p>\n

Winnipeg tied the game 1-1 at 15:06 of the first on Brad Ginnell’s power-play goal. The Ice went in front 2-1 at 6:06 of the second period on Jackson Leppard’s goal.<\/p>\n

Michal Teply scored a power-play goal 42 seconds into the third period to give the Ice a 3-1 lead.<\/p>\n

Alex Morozoff cut the Ice lead to one at 3:08 of the third. Conner Bruggen-Cate drove wide on the left wing past the defenseman and around the net. Bruggen-Cate attempted to score on a wraparound and the puck came into the slot right to Morozoff, who beat Makaj as the goalie lunged right to left to make the save.<\/p>\n

Winnipeg took the two-goal lead back at 3:28 of the third on a goal from Teply.<\/p>\n

Seattle pulled goalie Roddy Ross for an extra with 2:14 left in the third period. Winnipeg’s Reece Harsch hit the empty net with 2:01 left to get their fifth goal.<\/p>\n
