Following an impressive debut in which he recorded his first professional point (an assist) and five shots on goal on Friday night, the rookie scored his first two AHL goals — both in impressive fashion — in a 5-2 win for the Marlies in Belleville on Saturday.
First Period
Toronto dominated the opening frame, creating almost as many high-danger scoring opportunities (five) as Belleville registered shots (six).
The only point of frustration for the Marlies was that they had only one goal to show for their efforts through 20 minutes.
The Marlies shifted the puck with ease from low to high and Kristians Rubins was on hand to sweep on a rebound off of an initial shot by Mac Hollowell.
