The Marlies are the first team to qualify for the second round of the Calder Cup playoffs in the Eastern Conference. They will now wait to find out whether they’ll play Syracuse Crunch or Cleveland Monsters in the next round (Cleveland currently leads the series 2-1).
“Very proud,” said Sheldon Keefe after the game. “We were resilient enough to find our way back and win those games on the road, and I thought we were full marks for our win here [in Game 3]. The adjustments we asked our guys to make, I thought they went out and executed very well.
