Rockford, Ill. – A Jason Jaffray hat trick led the Manitoba Moose to a 3-1 win over the Hersey Bears to even the Calder Cup Finals at 1-1 in Game 2 on Tuesday in the MTS Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

The Bears jumped out to an early lead with a goal from Alexandre Giroux at 12:31 in the first period. Jaffray struck back in the second period to even the score and then added an even-strength and power-play empty-net goal in the final minute of the game to give the Moose the evening victory.
