Marlies Offense Explodes 6-2 to Push Texas Stars to Brink in Game 5

The Toronto Marlies finally got a chance to impose their will on the Texas Stars, playing the game that led them to the best record in the league, and besting Texas in dominating fashion 6-2.

Captain Curtis McKenzie said, “It wasn’t really what we were looking [for]. It hasn’t happened to us all year, and it stunned us a bit.”

“Our group’s resilient,” said Laxdal, looking ahead to Game 6 already. “We’ve gone through the playoffs here; we haven’t faced an elimination game yet. It’s a different task for us.”

Texas had the first few chances of the game, but Toronto scored on two of their first three shots.
