After a strong showing in the first period, including rookie goaltender Matt O'Connor stopping all 14 shots he faced, everything fell apart the rest of the way as the Marlies (10-3-0) showed why they sit up top of the North Division some 14 points ahead of the last place Senators (3-7-0) as O'C had to deal with a total of 42 shots as the game wore on.
Luke Richardson tries to shake up the line up as rookie's Tobias Lindberg and Nick Paul were tonight's healthy scratches. But the plan backfired as Toronto won easily with a stronger offense, better defense and sound goaltending in fourth year pro Garret Sparks.
