Captain Logan Shaw leads the way with three points, Toronto Marlies defeat Belleville to solidify playoff hopes

“I liked our start. We needed to get the lead. We came out, scored the first goal, and answered right back with a second [goal].

To get the win is huge. Hopefully, we can build off of that moving forward.”

– John Gruden

The ramifications of this game were significant for both teams. A regulation loss for the Toronto Marlies would have allowed Cleveland, Syracuse, and Belleville to move three points behind the Marlies with games in hand.

A fast start meant Toronto could play with the lead for a change, making a world of difference.
